Leslie Frazier: 'Adrian Peterson should be ready'

Leslie Frazier has said that he expects Adrian Peterson to be ready to play against the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend.

The running back missed last week's 48-30 win against the Philadelphia Eagles with a foot injury and sat out Thursday's practice to receive treatment.

The head coach told the St Paul Pioneer Press: "Based on what we saw [on Wednesday], we should be fine. Unless something comes up that I don't foresee, he should be ready to go.

"Based on today and if everything goes good tomorrow, [backup running back Toby Gerhart] should be good to go on Sunday."

Peterson added: "It's feeling pretty good. Starting to gain more strength in it, can put pressure on it, it's feeling good."

Peterson has 1,221 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns this season.
