AP not gonna be ready for the start of next year

If MRI confirms #Vikings fears, it's at least the ACL and MCL for Adrian Peterson and he's probably not ready to start the 2012 season.

Good for him the Vikings suck this year.

Was it the same knee he screwed up in college?

If you've seen the replay, I don't think you'd find this news surprising.

No shit

It'd be cool if the Vikings fell in love with Trent Richardson.

Sportcenter said the ACL was confirmed, MCL is still speculation at this point. Bad break for the Vikes.

ACL tear is confirmed on AP. Good news (for now) is only other tear is mcl, which shouldn't require surgery. Only surg will be to ACL, prob

That hit made me cringe. Cringe badly.

If the Vikes are not confident in AP's abilities for next year who would be up for trading Jamaal Charles to Minnesota +this years first and next years first for the Viking's pick this year to either get Luck or Barkley?

It would be great if Indy could win and give the Vikes the #1 overall and if they would go for it, it would be short of giving them a Ricky Williams-type trade deal ruining our draft future and we get our QBOTF. A solid RB is easier to find than a once in a generation QB like Luck or even Barkley if we had to go #2 overall.

and it starts

Hilarious. Charles just tore his own ACL. He wouldn't even demand a 2nd day pick, let alone a 1st rounder.

BTW. Barkley isnt in this draft and Luck will be gone before the Vikings pick.

I had a 1400lb crate of glass fall on my leg like that in 99... Nasty shit, I just felt the pain shoot thru my leg when I saw that hit
