ASHBURN, Virginia – He was going to be a weekly miss every Wednesday, a veteran’s day off to rest his body. Instead, Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson has been practicing. Even if it’s only limited, the fact that he’s going through drills suggests one thing: He’s feeling good.
And nine games into his first season with Washington, that’s indeed the case. After hurting his shoulder and his knee in a Week 4 loss at New Orleans, Peterson said he feels fresh. That’s good news for the Redskins who already are missing six starters or key players on offense.
