Given the nature of his injury, the news wasn’t a surprise.
Cardinals coach Bruce Arians had previously expressed great doubt that Peterson would return.
Peterson’s season ends with 529 yards on 156 carries and two touchdowns between the Cardinals and New Orleans Saints.
An uncertain future now faces an increasingly injury-prone Peterson, who turns 33 in March.
