JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- The Washington Redskins once upon a time had their running backs situation figured out. And then came the injuries. And then came Adrian Peterson.
Starting Friday night, they hope Peterson can help settle the situation. He’ll get his first chance to play in a Redskins uniform when they host the Denver Broncos.
It’s uncertain how much work he’ll get, but coach Jay Gruden has said he’d like to get him a handful of carries in the first half while working with the first-team offense. After all, that’s who he’d be with in games, whether as the starter or a primary backup.
