Thanksgiving Illness Could Sideline Adrian Peterson

The status of Vikings' superstar Adrian Peterson is suddenly in doubt for Sunday's game against the Bears.

The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Peterson has come down with some sort of Thanksgiving illness:

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is questionable for the game Sunday with the Bears after missing practice Friday with an illness.

Peterson was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, listed with an ankle injury, and apparently got sick following Thanksgiving.

If Peterson cannot go, Chester Taylor will get the start. Taylor scored touchdowns in both games against Chicago last season.
