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

Why would they trade for a guy who had a similar injury and hasn't played yet to show hes back

He would be "ready" a season sooner than AP. And it would depend on the severity of AP's injury. If its only a single tear rather than a complete blowout this trade would obviously have no merit. But if AP's is really bad and Charles is showing he's recovered it might..

Reminded me of McGahee in 2003.

How is Charles going to show he's recovered before the draft?

He could go to a funeral and shoot beside a mans head.... Oh wait

Yes my bad. The Colts would need to win to get the Vikings a #1. I dont think RG3 is worth trading up to take at #2

No one knows if he will ever be right. We all obviously hope so but I haven't seen him hit a hole yet to know

He may lose a tick of speed but he is young, he should be 90%

If he's able to do a workout at that point he would be way ahead of schedule, showing that his injury wasn't catastrophic. If Peterson's injury is catastrophic Charles would be a better bet and the Vikings could even be getting value.

Sounds great for a speed guy.

Not even close.

Still would be faster than most

AT ALL.

Agreed. I think McGahee hyperextended at least 30 degrees.

Amazing how crushed Mcgahee got and still had a really good career

MRI confirms ACL tear for Peterson

As expected, an MRI had confirmed that Vikings running back Adrian Peterson suffered a torn ACL during Saturday’s win over the Redskins. The Vikings announced the results of the MRI tonight.

While the Vikings’ statement addressed no other damage in the knee, Tom Pelissero of 1500espn.com reports that Peterson also has a torn MCL. Though the degree of the MCL sprain isn’t identified, Pelissero writes that the MCL will heal without surgery.

There was no damage to the PCL and, presumably, the LCL.

So the news could have been worse for the Vikings. After the injury and the initial evaluation, the Vikings believed the ACL was torn and feared more extensive damage elsewhere in the knee.

Peterson’s timetable for a return isn’t known. His availability for 2012 will depend on various factors.

Fortunately for Peterson, the Vikings were willing to sign him to a long-term deal before the expiration of his rookie contract, which shifted the injury risk from the player and to the team.

Note to self... "Do not smoke corncobs. May cause hallucinations and batshit crazy trade ideas that would only happen in Madden."

Oh dear god.

This is the x-rays of my right leg in 99
