MINNEAPOLIS (AP/WCCO) — Adrian Peterson is returning to the Minnesota Vikings, and the star running back tells The Associated Press that he hasn’t lost his love for the team.
WCCO’s Ashley Roberts has confirmed that the Vikings running back is in Minnesota and is planning to attend practice with the team today.
Earlier, he told ESPN’s Josina Anderson he decided to return to “come back just to get around my teammates and the coaching staff.”
Peterson also e-mailed the AP early Tuesday morning saying he’s excited to put on a uniform again after missing the final 15 games of last season while addressing child abuse charges in Texas.
