Adrian Peterson remains on track to return to Vikings this season

When Vikings running back Adrian Peterson underwent surgery to repair a torn lateral meniscus, he hoped to return in late December before a playoff run. Roughly two months since his surgery, the former NFL MVP remains on track to achieve his goal.

According to several people briefed on his rehab, Peterson's desire to return before the end of the season is still realistic. No one knows for sure when he'll be back -- his return is based on several factors -- but there have been no complications to his ongoing recovery.

What exactly has Peterson been doing to get back to the field?
