Adrian Peterson tore his ACL and tore his MCL in 2011 at age 28.
Returned the following season to rush for just 2097yds and 12 TDs. Finished his career with three more 1,000+ yard seasons,
including a 1,485yd 11 TD effort at the age of 30.
At age 32,
Terrell Owens suffered a broken fibula in 2005 prior to playing in SB XXXIX, catching 9 passes for 122yds.
He went on to post three consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons between the ages of 33-35 (1,180yds, 1355yds, 1052yds and 36 TDs), and 4,659 yards and 52 TDs over his final five seasons.
Anquan Boldin suffered a series of injuries between the end of 2009 through 2009, including an MCL, a high ankle sprain, and of course the incredible smashing of his face that required surgery to his sinus area and wiring his jaw shut, between the ages of 28-29.
Boldin went on to catch 423 passes for 4,221yds and 30 TDs over the next six seasons. He put together a pair of 1,000+ yard seasons (1,179yds and 1,062yds) between his 33rd and 34th birthdays.
Jerry Rice tore his ACL at 35. Returned the following season, played 16 games, caught 82 passes for 1157yds and 9 TDs.
Continued for the next five years to amass more than 6,000 yds receiving, and 39 TDs after tearing his ACL.
Addressed.
