Source: Redskins may start Adrian Peterson despite return of Derrius Guice

The Washington Redskins activated running back Derrius Guice off the injured reserve list, but that doesn't mean Adrian Peterson's days of starting have ended.

The Redskins announced Guice's return Thursday morning. He was placed on IR after tearing the meniscus in his left knee in the season opener. Interim coach Bill Callahan said last week that Guice would be returning after this week's bye for the Nov. 17 game vs. the New York Jets.

However, a source said he expects Peterson will continue to start, a move that runs counter to what the Redskins did in the season opener when both were available.
