Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted February 7, 2013 Adrian Peterson's 2,097-yard season coming off ACL surgery was even more incredible than it appeared. The Minnesota Vikings running back was also playing through a sports hernia, a painful abdominal condition that required surgery Thursday, the team announced. The procedure was performed in Philadelphia by noted sports-hernia specialist William Meyers. USA Today Wow. Wonder how long this was an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smell My Face 13 Posted February 7, 2013 Adrian Peterson - RB - Vikings Feb 7 - 2:16 PM Adrian Peterson (sports hernia surgery) says he first suffered the injury in Week 10, and "questioned whether (he'd) be able to continue" by Week 16. "Each week it just got worse and worse and worse," Peterson said. "The pain was a 10 on a scale of 10 (by Week 16)." The admission makes Peterson's historic 2012 that much more revelatory, as he averaged 163 rushing yards per game after first getting hurt. The Texans game makes sense as a low point, however, as Peterson could manage only 86 yards on 25 carries, and came out late. Peterson expects to resume working out in 3-4 weeks. As NFL.com's Albert Breer opined on Twitter, Peterson is proving to be the real-life Bill Brasky.
