Think Cordarelle Patterson likes to celebrate with officials?

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will be held out of today's game with the Eagles according to a report from Sean Jenson of KTWIN.

Peterson suffered a mid-foot sprain last weekend,

Peterson's backup, Toby Gerhart, also will be scratched per  the report. Gerhart strained a hamstring last week.

That makes Matt Asiata (5-11, 234) the starter.

But the Eagles should be ready to defend rookie Corradelle Patterson as well. The game-breaking wide receiver/kick returner has five carries for 35 yards this season, including a 35-yard score two weeks ago.

Patterson has sub 4.3 speed in the 40-yard dash.

To paraphrase the old-timers,  Patterson has two speeds ... here he comes and there he goes.
