Adrian Peterson returned to football for the first time since suffering a neck injury in mid-season in mid-December.

"I'm happy," Peterson said in a statement. "This is a long stopover but I have saved my body and I'm ready for this opportunity. So when this opportunity comes, I'm happy."
The Redskins suddenly found themselves short behind after losing Derrius Guice, Samaje Perine and Byron Marshall due to injury in the first two pre-season games
Although coach Jay Gruden initially rejected the idea of importing returning animals when Guice came down, he realized he was facing a bad strait with Perine and Marshall coming out and accepting expert Chris Thompson still working back from a broken fibula.
When the news erupted on Sunday's upcoming visit to the free trio agent Peterson, Jamaal Charles and Orleans Darkwa, Gruden stressed that he was not looking for a starter. Rob Kelley, who was relegated to be locked as a first team milestone.
"We have a very unfavorable situation with our backs," Gruden explained. "If something happens, we will be really, really thin, and we want to make sure we cover all our bases now."
A re-establishment at an independent institution after the Cardinal sacked him in March, Peterson had a great opportunity to climb the deep charts in Washington.
"I will lie to you if I say [offseason] is not difficult, because you are a human," Peterson said. "I have seen men come through the door and crowds through this process. I have a great appreciation for that. But I know what I have left in the tank, that is the only thing that bothered me. Yourself. "
Although the former superstar of the Vikings averaged 3.4 meters last season, he broke the 130-page record twice in six games such as Arizona Bellcow. Behind the porous attacking line, he shows an explosion, strength, jump and shock as a runner.
"There is no doubt that Adrian still has some liquid left in the tank, especially in terms of running skills," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said in February. "He still runs with a lot of anger and aggression, and has the type of contact balance you are looking for in that position.
"But today and today, we all know that you have to catch the ball from the backyard, you have to do a lot of different things, so flexibility is the key."
Inside is rubbing. Not bothering to add Peterson as a complementary group in a committee attack because of his presence on the field too often the telegraphs play running, the team has begun to see Peterson as a one-dimensional force re-used as well as possible in emergency cases.
After training with 33-year-old players this summer, Redskins Pro Bowl overcame Trent Williams, who insisted Peterson "did not slow down."
"I don't understand stigma when people get 31, 32, 33 - they are somehow slow," Williams said on Sunday, via the Washington Times. "No, that's a talented athlete, you know he has a gift, does Darrell Green ever lose his speed, he doesn't, some things are always with you, that's you, your makeup, that's your DNA ... So, no, he's an athlete the same thing you usually see. "
If the Williams observation report proves to be reliable, Kelley will eventually lose her suitability in the lead role during the playing season.
