The Adrian Peterson era wasn’t exactly glamorous for the New Orleans Saints, with the venerable running back getting traded to the Arizona Cardinals early in the 2017 season. He’s since bounced around the league a bit and was recently released by the Washington Football Team, only to land with the Detroit Lions a few days later.
And that puts him on a collision course with the Saints. The Lions will host New Orleans on Sept. 27 at Ford Field in a game played without fans in attendance, and Peterson just might get on the field.
