The Minnesota Vikings have placed RB Adrian Peterson (MCL) on the injured reserve list on Friday. Peterson could be activated in December if he is able to return to football activities. (Ben Goessling on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Peterson was placed on IR on Friday after undergoing successful surgery to repair his MCL. In Peterson's absence, Jerick McKinnon will likely receive the first shot at the bulk of the workload out of Minnesota's backfield, but Matt Asiata could also be in the mix for touches. The Vikings also signed Ronnie Hillman earlier in the week as insurance in case McKinnon and Asiata are subjected to unforeseen circumstances.
