EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier told reporters yesterday that the ankle of his star running back Adrian Peterson felt better this Monday than it did the previous Monday.
Peterson has missed practice time in each of the past two weeks due to the sore ankle, but has not missed any games. In fact, he rushed for 153 yards in Sunday's win over Arizona.
Frazier says they'll play it smart this week in practice, but the head coach fully expects Peterson to be ready for action on Thursday night when the Vikes host Tampa Bay in prime time.
