Adrian Peterson injury: Ankle sprain won’t stop Vikings RB from playing Week 6

Peterson suffered the ankle injury on his first rushing attempt last week, but played through it and finished with 20 carries and 103 rushing yards. Peterson said he “got it twisted up pretty bad” but didn’t experience much swelling and has made progress this week with rest.

When asked if he’d like to exact some revenge against Gomes this week, Peterson said “of course” and added he’ll make sure to keep his shoulders low to deliver a blow.

The injury, which occurred on the second play of the game, hampered Peterson through the remainder of the first half, as he told FSN North’s Brian Hall:

After rushing for just 35 yards in the first half, Peterson finished a bit stronger, ending his day with 88 yards on 17 carries. While Peterson believes he played better in the second half, he still seemed down about his overall effort.
