Conflicting Reports Emerge On Adrian Peterson's Illness

Fans of the Minnesota Vikings went into a bit of a panic when the team downgraded running back Adrian Peterson from "probable" to "questionable" on Saturday night before the team's Week 7 match-up against the Detroit Lions. Nobody was quite sure what the issue might have been, but after defensive end Everson Griffen was a last-minute scratch in Week 6, it was a little bit scary.

Well, a couple of reports emerged about what happened on Sunday, and both of them. . .well, they're both head-scratchers, to be completely honest.
