Adrian Peterson

Vikings' Adrian Peterson (knee, groin) will probably sit out rest of year

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson (knee, groin) is unlikely to return this season, according to ESPN's Bob Holtzman.

What It Means:

It would be a different story if the Vikings make the playoffs, but that's probably not going to happen. Peterson has likely played his last snap for Minnesota.

Among the 74 running backs this year with at least 35 rushing attempts this season, Peterson's -0.39 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) per attempt rank last. The Vikings are last in the league this season in terms of Adjusted Rushing NEP per play.
