MANKATO, Minn. — It’s uncertain whether Adrian Peterson will play at all this preseason.
But the Vikings running back said Monday that he could push the issue with Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer if he wanted to.
“I think if I really press it with Coach Zim,’ he’ll let me get some snaps,” Peterson said with a smile. “We’ll see how that goes.”
Peterson will travel to Cincinnati for joint practices Wednesday and Thursday with the Bengals but won’t play in Friday’s preseason game.
The Vikings all-time leading rusher said he’s looking forward to the challenge of facing a stout Bengals defense that finished seventh in the NFL last year while allowing just 92.
