EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota’s last visit to Green Bay was nothing less than miserable.

Adrian Peterson left Lambeau Field with a torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee after just 11 carries for 45 yards and the Vikings were trounced 34-0 by the Packers.

Minnesota managed to regroup and win five straight games after that, but the picture of Peterson — then at the peak of his sensational rookie season — writhing on the ground in pain late in the third quarter on that November afternoon was quite the unpleasant image. Even though he returned three weeks later.

Peterson was asked following Friday’s practice whether the impending trip to the scene of the injury has been a part of his thought process this week.

‘‘A little bit, but you know the main priority is going out and executing my job and coming out with a victory,’’ Peterson said, predictably reciting the old company line.
