Peterson's backup, junior Allen Patrick, another I-back style runner, will take over the primary ball-carrying duties with Peterson out, ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel reports.
On the season, Patrick has 18 carries for 62 yards, with a long gain of 15. Jacob Gutierrez, a Quentin Griffin-style back who helped fill in for Peterson after his injury last season, will likely also see some time.
"We won't make any rash decisions," offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said. "I don't think the offense is going to change dramatically."
