ASHBURN, Virginia – Adrian Peterson tested history earlier in his career, tearing his ACL in 2011 only to rush for more than 2,000 yards the following season. He’s testing it again, trying to prove he can still be an effective every-down back at age 33.
The Redskins signed Peterson on Monday and haven’t guaranteed him a roster spot, let alone the starting job. But they raved about his workout and teammates said he looked sharp in practice. What that means for Week 3, if he’s on the roster, is anyone’s guess.
