Zimmer: Adrian Peterson has torn meniscus in knee

“He’s got some toughness about him”.

“I don’t think this is anything to get super insane about”, Rodgers said. “It’s a tough opponent, a division opponent”.

Minnesota will not be releasing any further information until after an MRI Monday but team trainers were performing stability tests that are typical when assessing ACL injuries, and the body language of those involved didn’t look good. “Hopefully we’re in a position to play for something then”.

Along with that, McCarthy wants to get what he called his excellent 1-2 punch of Eddie Lacy and James Starks at running back more involved after they combined for just 19 carries for 53 yards Sunday. Diggs caught nine passes for 182 yards and a score. Ted Ginn contributed 51 yards in two receptions.

However, the Vikings victory was not without its concerns. “One time Brian Robinson slapped down and knocked it loose”.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wants everyone to relax after last night’s loss to the Vikings. But whether it is Peterson or backup running backs Matt Asiata or Jerick McKinnon taking handoffs from Bradford, the results will be the same if the holes aren’t there.

Bradford would say only that he found out he was starting “earlier this week”. Kyle Rudolph hauled in the first touchdown. He visited the locker room briefly for further examination but never missed a snap, despite significant swelling beneath his left pinky.

“These guys have had my back from day one”, Bradford said.

“I don’t think this is anything to get super insane about”, Rodgers said. That’s typical Minnesota, Green Bay. Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb wrestled him down and stripped the ball in the process, recovering it himself.

Bradford played very well in his Vikings debut, but was sacked four times and was hit many more by an aggressive, blitzing Packers defense. They played at the Duluth Kelleys and Chicago Cardinals that year before returning home.

WAYNES’ WORLD: With Xavier Rhodes sidelined for a second straight game because of a knee injury, Trae Waynes again became the workhorse cornerback.
