Report: Viking FB hurt in locker-room horseplay
Green Bay's defensive players weren't the ones to feel Minnesota running back Adrian Peterson's wrath this weekend. Peterson and teammate Naufahu Tahi were involved in horseplay that accidentally led to the Vikings fullback being unable to play Sunday against the Packers, a source told FOXSports.com. Peterson and Tahi were wrestling Saturday in the team's locker room when the latter accidentally injured the area around his eye. Vikings coaches believed Tahi was going to play Saturday night but had to declare him inactive for the Packers game after overnight swelling.

AP still looked like AP sunday. there were runs where 5-6 tacklers missed him or got ran over. peterson might be the most dynamic back in the nfl. not calling him the second coming of barry sanders but he makes highlights happen weekly.

Ever heard of the saying "Act like you've been there before?". This wasn't the Superbowl. Its a nice win, but you should have expected to win. Now this guy is hurt and they still have the rest of the season to go. Where were the leaders? Where were the coaches? Dumb move!

"that accidentally led to the Vikings fullback being unable to play Sunday against the Packers"
Apparently this happened before the game. Either you have an outstanding ability of assumption or a serious lack of reading comprehension.

This would be a real story if the result was AP being the one who was hurt and had to miss the game. But now they get the bye week, plenty of time for Tahi to get back on the field.

On another note: Does Peterson remind anyone else of O.J. Simpson the way he runs the ball?
The guy is AWESOME!

What the hell is a horse doing in the locker room anyway? That's pretty weird if you ask me.

Moral of the story:
Friendly wrestling in the locker room or game time on the field or on the commercial set... Its tough to bring AP down..
