Adrian Peterson and Teddy Bridgewater never have been on the field together for a game. That is about to change.
Peterson returned to the Vikings on Tuesday after missing the final 15 games last season because of a child-abuse incident. After watching the running back go through a workout during organized team activities, Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer was practically salivating about what he now has on offense.
"I do believe that we can be very, very explosive,'' Zimmer said.
Peterson didn't suit up during the preseason last year when Bridgewater was a rookie, and Bridgewater had not yet taken over as the starting quarterback when the running back played for the only time in 2014 in the regular-season opener.
