Adrian Peterson Expected To Play Thursday Night
5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle), who is questionable for Thursday night against the Vikings, said he's feeling good and is expected to play. The future Hall of Famer will be playing through pain if he does suit up, however, so he might not see his normal number of snaps against his old team. An aging running back that hasn't been very effective this year at less than 100 percent health going up against a strong run defense isn't exactly someone you want to bet on. Consider Peterson a low-end RB3/flex if he plays, while Wendell Smallwood could see the most action he's had all season with Chris Thompson (toe) out.
