With Vikings in, Zimmer playing Peterson

Faced with submitting his inactive list of players before the Arizona Cardinals had completely knocked off the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer elected to play all of the significant players on Friday’s injury report.

Adrian Peterson (ankle) wasn’t a full participant in practice last week until Friday, and that was also the case with LB Anthony Barr (knee), DT Linval Joseph (foot) and DE Everson Griffen (shoulder). S Harrison Smith (knee/hamstring) was limited all week in practices.

All of them are active and expected to start Sunday night against the New York Giants.
