Vikings Roundup, 9/11: Peterson 'Pretty Fired Up'
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The competitive fire inside Adrian Peterson has burned for more than a year.After the Vikings wait longer than all but one other team to open the 2015 regular season on Monday Night Football at the 49ers, the running back will try to control release of the flames one carry, catch or assist with a pass block at a time.
“I’m pretty fired up, mostly just focusing on my assignment and the preparation leading up to the game, so I’m still doing a good job of keeping everything inside,” Peterson said Friday.
The franchise leader in rushing yards and 2012 NFL MVP, however, will take the field for the first time since the 2014 season opener.
