Zero to do with the injury? Are you certain. Sure, if he would've been hit at the same angle on any play he would've had this injury. Can you say for a fact that he wasn't a half a step slower today? Could that half a step made it so his knee wasn't planted when he was hit on this play? Plus, that has nothing to do with what I said. All I said was that "if" he wasn't 100%(or near enough to it that it didn't matter, since no NFL player is truly 100% after camp starts) then he shouldn't have been playing and wouldn't have been in the position to possibly injure himself in this game. I never said his previous injury affected his current one.Except, his ankle had zero to do with in injury in the game. Even if his ankle was 50% it has no impact on his injury.Also its late in the season, everyone is 'injured' one way or another.Sounds like you need to take a step back and cool off. Suggesting the firing of an entire coaching staff because of an injury is tired.My take: If Peterson was 100% recovered from his ankle injury then I have no problem with what happened. Injuries happen in football. However, if his ankle was even only 90% healthy going into today's game, every coach involved in the decision to let him play needs to be canned. You don't risk your 96 million dollar face of the franchise in a meaningless game if he has even a hint of a leg injury. Hope it isn't a significant injury and that he's ready come training camp, but knowing the luck of Vikings fans, it'll probably be a career ender.
