Washington Football Team running back Adrian Peterson said Tuesday that he has some concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, but it won't stop him from playing this season.

Peterson discussed the situation with TMZ Sports (Beginning at 1:30 mark):

"Of course [COVID-19] is always a concern, but work is work," Peterson said. "We gotta do what we gotta do."

The 35-year-old Peterson is set to enter his third season in Washington after the team decided to retain him this offseason.

Peterson was expected to serve in a complementary role to Derrius Guice last season, but Guice had his season cut short because of injury for the second consecutive year and appeared in only five games.
