Peterson expects to play Sunday despite leg amputation
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Vikings have yet to rule out star running back Adrian Peterson for Sunday’s game, despite reports that the rookie will likely have his injured leg amputated.
“Right now we’re looking at surgery on Friday, I’ll rest on Saturday and be ready to go against Oakland,” the rookie from Oklahoma told SSNN. “I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy, but Cedric Benson carried the ball like 30 times against those guys. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t rather have me with a brand new peg-leg than Benson.”
Before injuring his right knee during last week’s loss to Green Bay, Peterson was well on his way to rewriting the record books. Though his chances of breaking the rookie rushing record are certainly lessened, the Vikings believe that advances in modern technology will allow for the running back’s quick recovery.
“This is just a minor setback,” Vikings head coach Brad Childress told reporters. “The doctors are confident that his artificial leg won’t greatly affect his play. We expect Adrian to be racking up 100-yard games again in no time.”
The fact that no player in NFL history has ever come back from an injury this devastating has not diminished Peterson’s confidence. “I know what I can do as a player. I might not be the same back I was before the amputation, but I still have the talent to contribute.”
Despite Peterson’s confidence, the Vikings front office has said they will wait until Sunday morning before announcing a decision regarding Peterson status for their game against the Raiders.
