Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is back in the news this week after skipping OTAs.
Peterson played in just one game last season after being indicted in September on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child.
He’s been involved in a few trade rumors since the 2014 season ended, but the Vikings don’t appear to be willing to part ways. In fact, new Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer had some strong comments about Peterson’s future with the team earlier this week.
