EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Adrian Peterson’s leading motivation for getting back on the field are his comrades in the locker room.
“I’m extremely hungry to get out there and help these guys win,” said Peterson, who underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus after Week 2. “That’s what it’s all about. That’s why I do it. It’s not for yards or anything like that.
“It’s for the guys in this locker room, the sweat during training camp and OTAs,” Peterson continued. “We’re brothers; we’re family.”
Peterson told Twin Cities media members Thursday that he fought to make a return this season for all of his teammates but specifically highlighted fellow veterans Chad Greenway, Brian Robison and Terence Newman.
