Adrian Peterson doubtful vs. Falcons

Minnesota Vikings halfback Adrian Peterson didn't practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons because of his high ankle sprain.

He had the boot removed Thursday but all he could do was watch practice from the sideline.

Peterson hasn't practiced all week after hurting his left ankle in last week's game in Oakland. He was carted off the sideline Sunday and had been in a walking boot for three days this week. Peterson is sixth in the NFL in rushing with 872 yards. He's tied with Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy with a league-leading 12 touchdowns.

Michael Vick unlikely to start vs Patriots

Vick, bothered by broken ribs, is one of four Eagles players and one of three key starters who could miss the interconference matchup against the AFC East front-runners at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles (4-6) are in must-win mode to stay in contention for a playoff spot.


Vick said through the team's website Thursday that he was feeling "good" despite sitting out practice again. Vick, who is recovering from broken ribs, said he is "getting better."
