The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports Adrian Peterson (torn lateral knee ligament) is expected to be out for up to three weeks.
Chester Taylor will take over as Minnesota's starter, and would have excellent matchups against the Raiders in Week 11 and Lions in Week 13, with a game vs. the Giants sandwiched in. Peterson isn't expected to need surgery and should be back before the end of the season, but this is a devastating loss for a Vikings offense that presents no threat of a passing game.
