I recently had an ACL tear, worst feeling in the world. The bad thing is that he won't be the Adrian Peterson we all knew, he'll come back but not the same.
it was prolly a deep sprain...AP wasn't rolling around crying from it. What possible gain would the vikings have leaving their 100 million dollar running back out on the field for a dying season...They fake these injuries so the vikings have a shot next year...throw a knee brace on him he will better then next year.
@biglamb actually if you watch other videos you can clearly see his knee twisted off to the side!!! he completely tore his ACL and maybe his MCL i cant remember!!! anyways he will be back! i mean he is a beast!
anyone remember the injury that happened to amar'è stoudemire some years ago? everybody said that he would never been the same, but he recovered and now it seems like he never had any injury..well the same could happen to Adrian Peterson
@NeoOsiris19 I know what your saying he will probably come back but he'll never be the same that injury will always hold him back from his full potential
If a 34 year old Tom Brady can recover from a nasty knee injury, no doubt AP will. You people are dumb, no ones a harder worker and better athlete then him in any professional sport.
@NeoOsiris19 How can you compare Tom pretty boy Brady to AP, Brady never gets hit due to that amazing O-Line. He is a QB, the pussy rule of being unable to hit QBs in the legs was created because of Brady tearing his ACL, now no one can aim to his legs, he barely moves around the pocket, he uses his knees basically to stand up. AP is a running back that gets 20+ carries a game and is a violent runner who relies on his knees, there is no rule that states you cant hit a RB in the legs
I'm just thankful that my son has someone like Adrian Peterson to look up to. We wish him a speedy recovery. Thanks for your program you started with your "Football for Good". We could only wish their were more players like Adrian Peterson out there.
did i really just read a comment that said trade adrian peterson whose not 28 hes 26 and many rbs have played at 28 and done super good do u know what ur talking about kid. Trade Jared Allen he didnt have 22 sacks this year did he??? and 30 isnt old for a defensive end dude have some knowledge.
There are surgeries that take much longer to recover from but allow your joints and tendons to perform just as well as before the injury, I mean just as well. If theres any drop off it will be from the recovery time, Adrian's hunger will carry him to be even better than this year. This, I bet money on.
they said that Adrian will hav surgery in weeks notice. Also, it will be hard, even for an athlete like Peterson, to make a comeback to his original state
@ooroorooroor no... acl mcl tears arnt what they used to be, it happens all the time, just this year jammal charles eric berry and him all got it, it doesnt really slow you down, just look at people like willis mcgahee and wes welker, it hasnt slowed them down, he will still be the best running back in football when he returns in 9 months.
He will play probably middle of the season next year. I think they will try to get Percy Harvin involved more in the passing game and some additional carries now that Peterson went down, he is their only real playmaker
silly people you cant call that a helmet to helmet hit, ponder lunged at him, how else is fletcher supposed to tackle him, its not like he can tackle him lower...
@kingmatt334 Yea I Did . Every One Does A Helmet To Helmet . If The Eagles Do A Helmet To Helmet You Wouldnt Call It . Nd I Get You Im A Fan NFC East Fan ,(Redskins) I Like The Eagles And The Giants But I Hate The Cowboys !.
I had this very similar injury on the same leg in a bicycle accident over a year anf a half ago. The knee went back and inward. As sick a feeling as one can experience.
Not as young or as strong as Peterson ofcourse, but he'll have a long way to recover.
Where was the coaching the Vikes are 2-12 playing a meaningless game and you leave this guy in.Quit letting the beer drinking,chicken wing eating drunks coach your team.AP should have been traded at the start of the year to get help on the line.I guess thats too late now.
This barbaric sport needs to be banned, tennis or cricket should be the most watch sport but we live in a society where the people thrive on violence SHAME ON YOU!!
Omg is the dude carting AP off really stevie wonder??? Lmao that looks just like him.. Anyways go Skins and I hope AP has a speedy recovery..hes a monster on the field and a good guy off the field
Man i feel bad for AD. I don't know what it is about his running style that just makes him prone to leg injuries. I hope he can bounce back and have a good career. And this is coming from a Lions fan lol
Knee reconstruction is far to advanced for him not to make a full recovery. Especially with stem cell therapy over seas im very sure he will back to normal by week 2 next season.
@MA1NSTR3AMGAMING - I don't think his career is over, but will he ever be the same again? Let's hope so, but if it's a bad tear it will affect his abilities after he returns.
@MA1NSTR3AMGAMING Delusional? Why would anyone want to be disillusion in regards to a player's career being altered in such a way? It's only logical to question a players ability after having torn their ACL and MCL, especially for a runnerback. I wish AP the best though.
Willis McGahee Frank Gore and Jamal Lewis have all tore their ACLs to come back the next season and preform well. It's not a career ender for everyone but it is something that can set back players.
I have had knee tendonosis for two years and I can bet you that Adrian Petersons injury is not as bad as mine. He's lucky that his injury is an acute injury versus chronic like mine. He'll recover and be back by the start of next season I can guarantee it. This does suck though.
Love from Lambeau, AP's one of the few rival running backs I actually like to watch play. Green Bay's defensive line will miss you kicking their ass. ;) No but seriously, he took an arrow to...nvm.
He'll be back, anyone who tears the acl and mcl and keeps a straight fucking face like that is to badass to let them keep them down, and i don't even like the vikings
@twinkie57401 by pressure you mean 2-3 guys hitting before he even gets back to the line of scrimmage? lol no the vikes o-line is pretty good lol. we need to get rid of ponder, make webb the starter, and draft an o-line and secondary.
@twinkie57401 no i agree w/you in that peterson takes way more abuse than welker ever would, but he relies just as much as peterson does on agility - which is hard on the knees, and he managed to (in my opinion) fully recover to where he was just as agile before the acl tear. doesn't even have moss anymore for a decoy.
i don't have much faith in the vikes cuz they're run by idiots, but i have faith that peterson will go through a hellish surgery and rehab to get back to 100%.
Kinda sad to see. One of my fav running backs and I wont be able to see him work for a while if ever. That injury is serious its the same injury tom brady had and it really took brady two years and two surgeries one involving cadaver tissue to recover. If peterson comes back I dont see how he will ever be the same. The leagues so infatuated with protecting these quarterbacks but what about the running backs who have a average shelf life of only 5 years.
the video proves otherwise . It was obviously an unknown defensive back diving at the knees of the superstar running back to take him OUT. they all do it.
@slim...your a fucking idiot. That dude gets his knees hit every week. What your saying is the dumbest shit I've read on here. Your saying go after someone's knees? Where do u live bc someone should go after your stupid ass mouth. Get fuck off of here bc you make no sense.
the only good thing is kenny britt form tennessee tor his acl and mcl at the begining of the season and hes going to make a full recovery i think ap can to, but as a bears fan i dont want to play him twice a year but i still hope he can come back hes a complete badass
NFL has turned into an Offense oriented league. Defenders do whatever it takes to take out the superstars and quarterbacks. The very next play, the tackler launched helmet to helmet and ended the quarterbacks day.
damn, watching this makes my knee hurt, I tore my ACL, Meniscus, and cartilage in my left knee in April playing basketball. January 1st i can start trying to rehab more and play some sports... I wish i had a replay to see what happened to mine, shit hurts tho AP is great and a professional athlete but coming back from something like this is incredibly difficult and your knee is never 100% again, could see this being the beginning of the end for him. GO BILLS, WE'LL GET EM NEXT YEAR! or soonish
GET WELL AP IM PRAYIN FOR U BRUTHA MAN U WILL STILL B A BEAST BECAUSE YOUR WORK ETHIC IS IMPECCABLE.HE WILL STILL B A BEAST NEXT YEAR I DONT GIVE UP HOPE ON YOU AP
Mcgahee, LT, Ronnie Brown, and a couple others have come back from serious knee injuries. AP is definately a better athlete than all of them. He might not be the best in the NFL when he comes back, but he'll be like a ray rice or a frank gore
They will all target the knee, though. Turn on the TV or open a magazine and you see Adrian Peterson. Rice and Gore don't get that kind of attention on or OFF the field.
He may be young enough to continue playing at a high level. Willis McGahee took that horrendous shot in college and stills plays at a rather high level.
Damn. As a Viking fan I wanted to lose the rest of the season just to get a better/ higher lottery pick. We have huge problems so to play Adrian was silly in the first place for get playing with pride and that other nonsense because its only one champion at the end of the year and we are far from contending. I also said trade Jared Allen, Pat/ Kevin Williams and Ap for younger players so we can have a better overall team, but now I doubt we will get anything for AP. Thank god he got the 103 mill
man im a eagles fan but and i really wish ap the best of luck. he was by far one of my fav rb to watch a class act and a one hell of a player. get well soon ap!
Tacklers are taught to dive at or wrap the legs of beastly runners like AP. Gomes definitely intentionally went for the knee-thigh area but highly doubt he's proud to have injured AP potentially so severely. Was a nice tackle with an unfortunate outcome.
Comparisons to the McGahee injury at Miami are somewhat encouraging. mcGahee put in some good years in Baltimore after recovering and he was never as skilled as AP to begin with so hopefully we see AP dominate again soon. He's one of the best backs of past 10 or 20 years. Top 5 of the 2000s if you ask me.
@twinkie57401 Hey shut the fuck up asshole. With a powerful back like AP you have to aim low. Otherwise he will run you over and score. Gomes had to aim low. I doubt he intentionally dove at AP's knee he was just trying to bring the best back in the league down. And London Fletcher is one of the cleanest defensive players in the league. Don't accuse him of being dirty. Maybe if your retarded QB went down instead of tryin to scramble around all the time he wouldn't get hurt. Prayin for AP tho:(
Redskins panicked because they were getting beat by the worst team in the league. They knocked the superstar running back out and the starting quarterback out on back to back plays. Didn't say it was any dirtier than any other NFL team, because they all do it.
@twinkie57401 Panicked? We had AP and Ponder contained well at this point. It was tied at this point. In fact when you guys brought joe webb in he did better since you guys ran the option which the skins didnt plan for at all and it gouged us badly
Wow. It's sad to see Adrian get hurt like this. He's a great player and I wish him the best in the future. Hopefully, it's just the ACL considering how it looked as he got hit.
The best players in the NFL come from all rounds. usually the top picks never live up to their expectations. Did everyone forget Brady came from the 6th round? The vikimgs will get a high draft pick so stop complaining and enjoy watching football.
Wow! We can't win for losing and we can't win for winning! You all wanted them to lose only to look like bigger losers just so we could move up in the draft pick? That's ridiculous! They can't even get a good win without you all complaining! I'm happy the Vikings aren't looking like losers! Way to go Vikes! I for one, am happy for any and every win NO MATTER WHAT and that's how a true fan should feel.
@ryanndaniellelogan When I wrote that they had said it was only a sprain. They still don't know if its torn because they haven't done an MRI yet but it most likely is
I'm SO SICK of the Vikings they had to win.....WHY ?! They can't do NOTHING right now they'll win next week to and drop even FURTHER in the draft....they're a joke .....and was I the only one who said trade Kevin Williams, Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen ?! Start over with this team and with the draft picks you couldve got with those trades draft young players.....DUH !!!!!
@690169 you're a dumbass buddy. trade our three best players? have you ever heard of a team doing that in the history of sports? you clearly don't know anything about football and are not a true vikings fan. don't ever post an ignorant and stupid comment like that ever again
Take a look at the Patriots and see why they're ALWAYS good...they're good at the draft and they trade players that are on the top of their careers that are not going to get better....Kevin Williams is overrated, Adrain Peterson is to expensive and Jared Allen is a stud that's older the Vikings can get ALOT for him
@690169 trading Williams seems like a good idea at first, but when you look at it if you trade them for draft picks your making bigger holes in the team losing Williams and Allen leaves large holes in the D-line, and their is never a sure thing in the draft.
If we get Matt Kalil then AD (it's not AP) should be able to pick up right where he left off.

Kinda sad to see. One of my fav running backs and I wont be able to see him work for a while if ever. That injury is serious its the same injury tom brady had and it really took brady two years and two surgeries one involving cadaver tissue to recover. If peterson comes back I dont see how he will ever be the same. The leagues so infatuated with protecting these quarterbacks but what about the running backs who have a average shelf life of only 5 years.

its obviously Harvin's fault AP is hurt,. He blocked him in the back pushing him down and into the knee of Adrian....

the video proves otherwise . It was obviously an unknown defensive back diving at the knees of the superstar running back to take him OUT. they all do it.

NFL has turned into an Offense oriented league. Defenders do whatever it takes to take out the superstars and quarterbacks. The very next play, the tackler launched helmet to helmet and ended the quarterbacks day.

damn, watching this makes my knee hurt, I tore my ACL, Meniscus, and cartilage in my left knee in April playing basketball. January 1st i can start trying to rehab more and play some sports... I wish i had a replay to see what happened to mine, shit hurts tho AP is great and a professional athlete but coming back from something like this is incredibly difficult and your knee is never 100% again, could see this being the beginning of the end for him. GO BILLS, WE'LL GET EM NEXT YEAR! or soonish

Mcgahee, LT, Ronnie Brown, and a couple others have come back from serious knee injuries. AP is definately a better athlete than all of them. He might not be the best in the NFL when he comes back, but he'll be like a ray rice or a frank gore

They will all target the knee, though. Turn on the TV or open a magazine and you see Adrian Peterson. Rice and Gore don't get that kind of attention on or OFF the field.

xXTheFalconsFanXx 2 months ago
Damn. As a Viking fan I wanted to lose the rest of the season just to get a better/ higher lottery pick. We have huge problems so to play Adrian was silly in the first place for get playing with pride and that other nonsense because its only one champion at the end of the year and we are far from contending. I also said trade Jared Allen, Pat/ Kevin Williams and Ap for younger players so we can have a better overall team, but now I doubt we will get anything for AP. Thank god he got the 103 mill

Tacklers are taught to dive at or wrap the legs of beastly runners like AP. Gomes definitely intentionally went for the knee-thigh area but highly doubt he's proud to have injured AP potentially so severely. Was a nice tackle with an unfortunate outcome.
pepto21 2 months ago
Comparisons to the McGahee injury at Miami are somewhat encouraging. mcGahee put in some good years in Baltimore after recovering and he was never as skilled as AP to begin with so hopefully we see AP dominate again soon. He's one of the best backs of past 10 or 20 years. Top 5 of the 2000s if you ask me.

Looked like DeJon Gomes intentionally dived at Peterson's knee and London Fletcher purposely lunged helmet to helmet on Ponder. Thanks a lot, mofo's.
twinkie57401 2 months ago
@twinkie57401 Hey shut the fuck up asshole. With a powerful back like AP you have to aim low. Otherwise he will run you over and score. Gomes had to aim low. I doubt he intentionally dove at AP's knee he was just trying to bring the best back in the league down. And London Fletcher is one of the cleanest defensive players in the league. Don't accuse him of being dirty. Maybe if your retarded QB went down instead of tryin to scramble around all the time he wouldn't get hurt. Prayin for AP tho:(

Redskins panicked because they were getting beat by the worst team in the league. They knocked the superstar running back out and the starting quarterback out on back to back plays. Didn't say it was any dirtier than any other NFL team, because they all do it.
twinkie57401 2 months ago
@twinkie57401 Panicked? We had AP and Ponder contained well at this point. It was tied at this point. In fact when you guys brought joe webb in he did better since you guys ran the option which the skins didnt plan for at all and it gouged us badly

The best players in the NFL come from all rounds. usually the top picks never live up to their expectations. Did everyone forget Brady came from the 6th round? The vikimgs will get a high draft pick so stop complaining and enjoy watching football.

They can't even get a good win without you all complaining! I'm happy the Vikings aren't looking like losers! Way to go Vikes! I for one, am happy for any and every win NO MATTER WHAT and that's how a true fan should feel.

Start over with this team and with the draft picks you couldve got with those trades draft young players.....DUH !!!!!

@PercyHarvin0528
Take a look at the Patriots and see why they're ALWAYS good...they're good at the draft and they trade players that are on the top of their careers that are not going to get better....Kevin Williams is overrated, Adrain Peterson is to expensive and Jared Allen is a stud that's older the Vikings can get ALOT for him
690169 2 months ago
@690169 trading Williams seems like a good idea at first, but when you look at it if you trade them for draft picks your making bigger holes in the team losing Williams and Allen leaves large holes in the D-line, and their is never a sure thing in the draft.
