Adrian Peterson was a surprise late addition to the injury report this week, and you won’t believe the reason why.
As ESPN’s Kevin Seifert noted, the FOX broadcast team for Minnesota’s game against the Lions said Peterson was listed as questionable with an “illness” after he swallowed his chewing tobacco on the team’s flight to Detroit.
Per FOX broadcast, Adrian Peterson swallowed his chew on a bumpy team flight Saturday. Vomited upon arrival. Hence, injury report downgrade.
