Peterson, Garoppolo injured
Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson left in the third quarter against Green Bay with an injured right knee.
Peterson was injured after a 5-yard run late in the third quarter. He was not able to put any pressure on his leg has he hobbled off the field and needed to be helped back to the locker room for further testing. Upon arriving in the locker room, Peterson was quickly ruled out for the rest of Sunday night.
He was on crutches after the game, wearing a brace on his right leg.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was knocked out of New England’s game against Miami with a shoulder injury, meaning the highest-profile replacement in the NFL needed a replacement of his own.
The Patriots did not disclose the severity of the injury.
