The Facts:
Dr. James Andrews, the world's foremost authority on sports injuries, said today in a statement provided to the Vikings that Peterson's right knee injury should be evaluated on a "week-to-week basis." Andrews' evaluation jibes with the Vikings' original position that Peterson will recover in time to play again this season.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Brad Childress and athletic trainer Eric Sugarman both said Monday that it was possible Peterson could return in time for the Nov. 25 game against the New York Giants. The Vikings provided Andrews' independent assessment, based on the MRI results, one day after a Florida doctor -- who had neither examined Peterson nor viewed his medical records -- asserted in a published report that Peterson shouldn't play again this season.
