The Titans have elevated Adrian Peterson from the practice squad to the active roster, Jim Wyatt of the Titans official site reports. The Titans signed Peterson earlier this week to help replace Derrick Henry, who was placed on injured reserve earlier this week due to having surgery on his foot. Peterson would seem to have impressed the coaching staff and be in terrific shape to get promoted so quickly.
Peterson is expected to share the rushing load with Jeremy McNichols and possibly D’onta Foreman or Dontrell Hilliard. This season, Peterson hasn’t played football, so the Titans may elect to use him sparingly this week or possibly just in short-yardage situations.
