Vikings' Peterson officially active vs. Colts

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- After a week of practice, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says he is ready to return to the field.

Appearing on Dash Radio with DJ Skee (who provides pregame entertainment for Vikings home games), Peterson said he plans to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, adding that a week of practice following his return from a torn meniscus "showed me I'm ready to roll."

The Vikings will have to make a roster move to activate Peterson, who had surgery on his torn right meniscus Sept.
