it isn't broke....a bruise or a slight seperation at best. Cedric wasn't even knocked off his feet with either hit, so these rumors of the D doing it it on purpose are just plain retarded, if I was intending to hurt someone I damn sure hope I knock him off of his feet.....did the D put a little smack down on the billion dollar baby?....damn right they did....welcome to the Bears D.
Jones "hammy" will get better real fast the moment he's traded, he pulled it in conditioning tests...so I doubt if it is very bad. It is just a way for him to hold out without holding out. He'll show if he's needed, he's being saved for the trade possibility
My personal opinion is that Peterson would make a fine back-up on any team and will get to show his stuff, and he was just signed to a nice long deal for peanuts.
I'm not sweating it either. Taking into consideration that Running backs can play %100 with a bad shoulder, and that Peterson has served well in the past, i would say that well be just fine.
