(Reuters) - Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has an ankle sprain and remains in doubt for next week's NFL clash against the Atlanta Falcons is uncertain, coach Leslie Frazier said on Monday.

Frazier said Peterson, who injured his left ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the Oakland Raiders, would try to practice on Friday to determine whether he could play against the Falcons on Sunday.

The four-time Pro Bowl player will wear a walking boot the next couple of days, Frazier said.

"It's nothing more serious than that...and he'll recover from it," Frazier told his weekly news conference.

"It's just the matter of the amount of time he'll miss. We'll have a better indication toward the end of the week."
