The bad news for the Vikings is that they continue to trail the Raiders by more than double digits.

The good news is that Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has no broken bones in his ankle.

X-rays were negative, per a league source. And that’s a positive for Peterson.

That doesn’t mean he’ll be able to play next weekend, given that he may have a sprained ligament.

According to the source, Peterson won’t be returning to the game.

UPDATE 4:11 p.m. ET: Peterson will have an MRI tomorrow.
