Adrian Peterson News: Will The Minnesota Vikings RB Return This Season?

A teammate of embattled Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said the All-Pro is itching for his return to the NFL stage this season. Peterson was indicted on felony child abuse charges in September in Texas, but pled down those charges to a misdemeanor last week. Vikings running back Matt Asiata told the Pioneer Press on Thursday that Peterson is "optimistic" about his return to the team.
