Ahead of one of the most unique season openers in NFL history, Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia isn't about to hand the Chicago Bears any informational advantage. So when it comes to discussing a possible role for running back Adrian Peterson — who was officially signed on Monday — Patricia was predictably vague.
"You know, we'll see," Patricia said. "It's Monday and he just got here so we'll see how everything goes."
One advantage Peterson has is a familiarity with Detroit's offensive scheme. The first four years of his career, he played for Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who held the same title with the Minnesota Vikings from 2006-10.
