Morgan Moses: Adrian Peterson benching 'slap in the face'

When the Washington Redskins made Adrian Peterson inactive on Sunday, the move reportedly didn’t sit well with the team’s veterans. And on Monday, right tackle Morgan Moses essentially confirmed that report — calling the running back’s benching a “slap in the face.”

In a radio interview, Moses said he planned to discuss the decision with coach Jay Gruden and advocated for Peterson, who led the Redskins in rushing last year, to receive playing time.

“Any time you’ve got a Hall of Fame guy that doesn’t dress, man, it’s a slap in the face,” Moses told 106.
