The Vikings announced Thursday that RB Adrian Peterson underwent a surgical procedure on a sports hernia injury.
“Adrian Peterson had a surgical procedure done today by Dr. William Meyers, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Dr. Meyers was able to successfully repair Adrian’s abdominal core muscle injury (sports hernia)," the team said in a statement. "We expect a speedy recovery and no long-term concerns.”

There are no real long-term concerns, but it does add to the legend that was Peterson's 2012 season. He first appeared on the injury report with an abdomen issue ahead of Week 15 and still ran for 596 yards over the Vikings' final four games (including playoffs). He also played in the Pro Bowl.

Thursday, the Vikings revealed the nature of the injury. It was a sports hernia, a painful ailment that almost always interrupts an NFL player's season. Peterson had surgery Thursday in Philadelphia to repair the injury, 11 days after Peterson played in the Pro Bowl, and the team said in a statement that it expects "no long-term concerns."
This news adds another layer to what is already a legendary event. We already knew that Peterson's historic season came within a 13-month span of tearing two ligaments in his left knee. Now we know he played at least a quarter of his 17 games with an injury that usually requires in-season surgery.

Adrian Peterson - RB - Vikings
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.

he seems to react REALLY WELL to off season surgeries. Perhaps an annual procedure is just what he needs to prompt an incredible annual increase in productivity...3000 yds in 2013?? Nothing would surprise me.......
