The Minnesota Vikings placed starting cornerback Patrick Peterson on injured reserve Monday.
Peterson will miss at least the Vikings' next three games with the move. The Vikings did not disclose the reason why the eight-time Pro Bowl selection was put on IR.
Peterson left the Vikings' 34-28 overtime victory over the Carolina Panthers late in the fourth quarter with cramping issues after defending against DJ Moore on a pass that fell incomplete. He didn't return for the overtime period.
He was replaced in the game by Cameron Dantzler who presumably would replace Peterson in the starting lineup while he is on IR.
