Any questions about whether Adrian Peterson will play for the Vikings today have now been answered.
Peterson is active for today’s game against the Panthers, and will play two days after the death of his 2-year-old son in an alleged beating by the boyfriend of the child’s mother.
Only Peterson can answer whether it’s the right call, after having a short amount of time to process an enormous personal tragedy.
