EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — With Vikings running back Adrian Peterson out for an unknown amount of time with a torn meniscus, it’s a next-man-up mentality in Minnesota.
Teammates voiced their support and confidence for the duo.
“I think Jet is going to do a great job. I think Jet is a hell of a runner,” Vikings left guard Alex Boone said of McKinnon. “He puts his foot in the ground and gets downhill.
“I feel bad for people that have to tackle him. Asiata, the same way,” he added. “This is a good group, and I’m very confident going forward that we’re going to be fine.
