The Facts: New HC Mike Zimmer told reports at the NFL Scouting Combine on Friday that Peterson is "on track" to participate in April mini-camp according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today Sports.

Diehards Line:In case you missed it, Peterson had groin surgery on January 23 and is "doing great" in his recovery. New offensive coordinator Norv Turner has vowed to get Peterson in space more often, perhaps by the passing game. The 28-year-old Peterson was limited to 14 games and finished last season with 1,266 yards rushing after his 2,097-yard, NFL MVP season in 2012. The groin bothered Peterson since he injured it in mid-November. We'll be watching his progress closely.
