Seven-time Pro Bowler Adrian Peterson will be inactive in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL.com, opening the door for Derrius Guice, Chris Thompson and the rest of the Washington backfield to see an increase in touches.
Peterson told ESPN's John Keim on Thursday that he wasn't worried about the possibility of being inactive.
"No. At the end of the day, I just control the things I can control, make sure I'm working out, busting my butt during the week and I know what the game plan is," he said.
