The Minnesota Vikings are preparing as if running back Adrian Peterson will miss this weeks game with the knee injury he suffered on Sunday, a league source told ESPNs Ed Werder on Wednesday.Peterson has been provided with multiple options about how to treat what coach Mike Zimmer said Monday was a torn meniscus and is deliberating how to proceed. The running back is waiting to hear back from Dr. James Andrews, who performed extensive surgery on Petersons knee in 2011, before he makes a decision, a source told ESPNs Ben Goessling.Surgery on a torn meniscus is not uncommon, and the recovery time can be anywhere from one week to three to four weeks depending on the location and severity of the tear.Peterson slightly twisted his knee at the end of a 5-yard run. His right foot was briefly stuck under the upper leg of Kyler Fackrell as the Packers linebacker brought him to the ground. Peterson left with 3:32 to play in the third quarter.He hobbled off the field with the assistance of athletic trainers. After being examined on the sideline, Peterson hopped through a field-level club at the teams new stadium toward the Vikings locker room.Upon arriving in the locker room, Peterson was quickly ruled out.He was later seen using crutches with a large black brace around the knee.The 2015 NFL rushing leader, who had just 19 carries for 31 yards in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, was injured on his longest run of the night.He had gained only 19 yards on 12 carries, although his presence had helped Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford hit Stefon Diggs on a pair of long strikes when the Packers were loading up to stop Peterson.Peterson suffered a devastating left knee injury in 2011 -- tearing both his ACL and MCL -- only to bounce back and rush for 2,097 yards in the 2012 regular season.If Peterson were unable to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, the Vikings could turn to Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon, who combined to run for 1,108 yards in 2014 while Peterson missed 15 games because of NFL discipline.I have a lot of confidence in those two guys, Zimmer said Monday. Theyre both different types of runners, but I think the combination of the two can help us.The injury to Peterson is the latest blow to the Vikings. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater?tore multiple knee ligaments on Aug. 30, and the team started the season with two different quarterbacks after trading for Bradford on Sept. 3. The Vikings, though, are 2-0 and in sole possession of first place in the NFC North.Everything we do is for the team. Were not going to be the only team to have injuries, Zimmer said.

Zimbabwe, circa 1998: Red violence My go-to for Loud Shirt Day here in New Zealand (an awareness campaign for the hearing-impaired, often fronted by Lance Cairns) is a violent visual assault of diagonal black, green, yellow and red stripes. Together with the large yellow soapstone bird symbol, its a fearsome sight that guarantees me a spot in the front row of any bad-shirt photo.The shirts exact provenance is unknown but it is emblazoned with the name of former cattle farmer Adam Huckle. He wheeled in during Zimbabwes Flowery golden era and toured New Zealand in 1998, although I suspect this shirt may not have been donned in anger, as he only played a single ODI against New Zealand, at Headingley in the 1999 World Cup. (Huckle got a golden duck and did not bowl in the rain-affected match.)These days he is a plumber in England, his loopy leg-spin having wreaked havoc against New Zealand, who constitute 19 of his 25 Test wickets.New Zealanders, April 1989: White optics This infamous kit was only ever used once in a weird, late season, airline-sponsored, one-off match between a New Zealand XI and Western Australia at the WACA in Perth.It is ridiculously obscure and boasts white as its primary colour, complemented by awkward black lines that may or may not represent wickets. There is a signed John Wright outfit from the game in the Beige Brigade wardrobe, but weve never seen another anywhere in the world, ever.The kit was controversial and caused a lot of head-scratching as the white ball used in the game blended into the bowlers clothes like an optical illusion. The white shirt and trousers were consequently retired, not to be seen ever again.Inexplicably, the New Zealanders got their butts kicked in the game by the unlikely duo of the moustachioed Mike Veletta (bat) and Guinness-lover Alan Mullally (ball).West Indies, 1988-89: Maroon grey West Indies was the first team I supported, aside from New Zealand. Of course I hated Australia, for which Channel 9 was to blame, beaming its Australian propaganda and jingoistic enthusiasm into Kiwi lounges all summer. Tony Coziers dulcet tones were often the only respite.Burnt into my retina is the Windies grey kit with the maroon torso stripes - one fat, two thin. It was the kit that changed colour when the players sweated, like a budget pre-90s Hypercolour t-shirt, the kit West Indies wore when winning the 1984-85 World Series. It was the kit that seemed to unbutton down to the sternum too, a miillion times cooler than their glow-in-the-dark orange/pink kits of the early World Series.ddddddddddddt goes without saying nobody wore it cooler than Viv. Short sleeves, maroon cap, eyes of steel, forearms of iron, Rasta sweatband, fearsome beard: that whole summer I wanted to be Viv, probably even more than that other Vivophile, Ian Botham, wanted to be Viv. Northern Knights, 2009: In the pink Five years ago, the Northern Districts Cricket Association announced plans to put its T20 team into pink shirts as a breast cancer awareness attention-grabber.They have worn it with pride since - Knights pink is a garish, flamboyant option in the mad T20 world of garish, flamboyant options.I love how Pig - or Scotty Styris - has been spotted wallowing in that pink for half a decade, and is still going strong as he huffs and puffs his way around the worlds T20 paddocks.Even the sensible Northern Districts fans of Hamilton, Tauranga, Whangarei and Gisborne were excited, dressing up in pink togas and shelling out for pink merchandise. The only thing missing was the artist formerly known as Alecia Beth Moore.I never wanted the shirt, but I like the idea. Its admirable for being more than a one-off gimmick, having become part of the fabric (sorry, I will get my coat) of the Northern Districts cricket scene.New Zealand, early 80s: The Bruce Edgar Apparently the two-tone beige and brown is Kerry Packers fault. He needed a dark-and-light uniform contrast for Middle Australias plethora of black and white televisions. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt, but surely he didnt sign off on the pooh-brown colour without a smirk across his famous jowls?But then underarm happened: McKechnie throws his bat and Edgar gives the fingers to Trevor Chappell. Sneddens already been robbed of a catch, Howarth rampages out in his socks, and Benaud is outraged. Later, Excalibur monsters a sextet of sixes and Sir Richard glides in, silky smooth. This smorgasbord of extraordinary Kiwi cricket memories is wrapped around by a common thread: tight Kiwi beige.Aside from the underarm ball, the Bruce Edgar uniform that arrived via Daniel Vettoris £100 auction bid is the Beige Brigades most prized possession. The beige has become an icon of Kiwi cricketing success, a hat-tip to the past and a throwback to free-to-air cricket galvanising a nation.
