MINNEAPOLIS – Facing a heavy fine, embattled Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says he won’t be at optional team practices this week.
“The reason I’m not attending (optional team practices) has nothing to do with wanting to be traded,” Peterson claimed in a statement released Wednesday. “It’s about securing my future with the Vikings. It’s business, not personal and I understand that firsthand. Go Vikings.”
Peterson could be docked a $250,000 workout bonus for not attending.
