The Detroit Lions continue to pour resources into the running back position, with their latest move bringing one of the NFL's all-time greats to town.
The Lions signed running back Adrian Peterson to a one-year deal Sunday, reuniting him with his former offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings, Darrell Bevell.
Peterson, 35, was released by Washington on Friday, ahead of Saturday's cut to a 53-man roster.
The Lions kept five running backs on their initial roster: Kerryon Johnson, a second-round pick in 2018; D'Andre Swift, a second-rounder this year; Ty Johnson, a sixth-rounder in 2019; Bo Scarbrough; and fullback Jason Cabinda.
