Brian Peters: LB stakes his claim to roster spot

Former CFL player Brian Peters is making a push for a roster spot with the Minnesota Vikings.

After a very strong couple weeks of camp, Peters got to show his stuff in preseason action Sunday night against the Steelers. He delivered with a fumble recovery on a ball that got away from Steelers tight end Jesse James (it was originally ruled an interception).

Peters also added two tackles on the evening.
