Vikes' Peterson to be watch diet, skip the shrimp

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson plans to steer clear of Chicago's seafood restaurants this weekend.

"Yeah, I'll be a little more cautious of what I eat," Peterson said Wednesday during a conference call with Chicago media members.

Peterson was downgraded to questionable last Saturday, prior to Minnesota's road game in Detroit after he vomited and fell ill. Peterson's upset stomach originally was attributed to swallowing dip on the team charter during a rough landing at Detroit Metro Airport, but Peterson later hinted that his seafood allergy may have played a role.
