"I値l be able to participate doing certain things," Peterson continued. "I think I値l be able to participate. I知 going to be all the way honest with you. I feel like I will be able to get out there and you call a run play or whatever, I値l be able to go through practice. That痴 how I feel. That痴 my mindset; but I知 going to follow the protocol. Whatever the Vikings and their staff want me to do, then I知 gonna do that; but I知 not going to hinder myself. ..."
