Adrian Peterson, wife expecting second child

PALESTINE, Texas -- Adrian Peterson's wife is having a baby, and the couple would welcome suggestions from fans for a name.

"That'd be fine,'' the Vikings' star running back said Saturday at Adrian Peterson Day in his hometown.

Ashley Peterson said she is due to give birth in October to a boy. She and her husband said fans could send possible names to his Twitter account @AdrianPeterson or her account @MrsAshPeterson.

"We're still thinking of a name,'' said Ashley Peterson, who married the running back last July. "We've got a while to think of one.''

The child will be the second Peterson has had with Ashley, the first being Adrian Jr.
