According to the Associated Press, "Adrian Peterson was on the field for the first part of Minnesota's practice on Wednesday, participating in light individual drills with his teammates... Coach Brad Childress said he considered Peterson upgraded from the 'long shot' status he assigned the NFL's leading rusher earlier in the week regarding his readiness to play against the New York Giants. Still, the rookie must have another MRI test before he can be cleared and is unlikely to be in uniform on Sunday."

I would sit him until I was sure he was 100%. They are not going anywhere this year. Why risk the future of the team. They are really only a QB away from a playoff team.

Well, the smart thing to do probably would be to shut him down, but...

"Outstanding Vikings rookie running back Adrian Peterson was upgraded to questionable Friday, increasing his chances of playing against the New York Giants on Sunday," reports the Associated Press. "Peterson tore the lateral collateral ligament in his right knee two weeks ago against Green Bay, but coach Brad Childress said he thought the NFL's leading rusher was progressing ahead of schedule this week in practice."
