Adrian Peterson: Saquon Barkley's Comeback from Knee Injury Will Be 'Scary'

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson offered his support to New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley after the 23-year-old suffered a knee injury in the Giants' 17-13 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

"[Barkley] a born winner!!" Peterson wrote on Twitter. "The comeback is going to be scary."

Barkley reportedly is feared to have torn his ACL, per Adam Schefter and Jordan Raanan of ESPN. He was carted off the field after a run in the second quarter and was ruled out.
