Patrick Peterson says he's returning to Vikings on one-year deal

Patrick Peterson will be back in Minnesota for a second season with the Vikings.

The cornerback said on his "All Things Covered" podcast on Wednesday he will sign a one-year deal to return to the team, which signed Peterson to a one-year, $8 million deal in free agency last year. The eight-time Pro Bowler missed four games last season — three because of a hamstring injury, one because of COVID-19 — but might have been the Vikings' most consistent cover corner when he was on the field.

"I'm going to stay put where I'm at," Peterson said on his podcast.
