PrintDon Banks of SI.com is reporting that the Combine Medical Evaluation of Adrian Peterson revealed that he re-broke his collarbone in the Fiesta Bowl.
He will need Post-Draft surgery to repair the break as the bone had not healed between the Fiesta Bowl and the combine.
All NFL teams have been aware of this since the Combine.
King Jerry, having a bit of river boat gambler in him, feels he will fall out of the top ten because of the injury concerns.
The article went on to say worst case this may be another Charles Rogers type of injury. A collarbone that will just not heal.

Already covered last night on the front page
Don Banks brings up some "new" injury concerns about Adrian Peterson.
But at least two teams that SI.com spoke to acknowledged that Peterson's health was a consideration in their draft analysis.
A high-level source on one team said the evaluation of his team's medical staff was that Peterson will require a surgical procedure, which would delay his availability at the start of training camp and perhaps longer. That team estimated Peterson would be sidelined after the procedure for "two or three months." That would likely mean Peterson would miss the entire offseason workouts of the team that drafted him and make him questionable for the early part of the preseason.
