Peterson back from hernia
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (5/29/13) The ESPN radio affiliate in Minnesota reports that Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is participating in team drills Wednesday during OTA workouts about four months after sports hernia surgery. The report says there's no live contact in OTAs, but it appears "he's full go" in this setting. "I'm pretty much 100 percent," Peterson said. "Me knowing my body, I would like to be a little stronger in some areas. But I'm feeling great." Peterson said he "definitely earned a lot more respect for your abdominal muscles" and has been ramping up his weight training after initially gearing exercises to reduce pressure on the area.

Dickerson happy for Peterson
by Jamey Eisenberg \| Senior Fantasy Writer (4/15/13) In an interview with CBSSports.com, NFL Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson said he "watched a little bit" last season as Vikings running back Adrian Peterson came within 9 yards of his single-season rushing record set in 1984. "When he got so close, I had to watch some of it," Dickerson said. "But it was good. It’s always good when somebody gets close but not break. Close but not break. ... I asked him, you want that record don’t you? He said yeah, you know I want it. But it was good for the league, it was good for me, it was good for him. He’s a great player, a great guy and I hope he gets close again -- without breaking it." Dickerson said Peterson could again challenge for the record this season, but it will be tough. "Now that he got so close, the defense is going to really be after him," Dickerson said. "They’re going to really scheme for him."

Frazier: AP not quite 100 percent
by Dave Richard \| Senior Fantasy Writer (3/21/13) ESPN reports Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier said running back Adrian Peterson is "not quite" back to running full speed and cutting after having sports hernia surgery in February.

AP should be ready for minicamp
by Dave Richard \| Senior Fantasy Writer (2/21/13) Vikings general manager Rick Spielman believes running back Adrian Peterson will be ready for the start of offseason minicamps following surgery for a hernia in early February. "He'll be ready," Spielman said per 1500 ESPN in Minneapolis. "He's pretty good right now. You think Adrian wouldn't be good yet?"
