Vikings | Adrian Peterson has hamstring injury
Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson (hamstring) was limited in practice Saturday, July 30, due to a hamstring injury. ‘Working out, like the week before (camp), he pulled the hammy a little bit,’ Zimmer said. ‘He can do things, he just can’t turn it all the way loose. So we’re just being careful with him.’
Footballguys View: It’s going to be an interesting season for Peterson and the Vikings. This could very well be his last year with the team, so do they use him up? Fantasy owners trust Peterson as a top-5 fantasy RB, and he’s still a first-round pick. The Vikings are wise to be cautious with their superstar back as he deals with this hamstring injury. Make sure to monitor his recovery during camp.
