The Facts:
Following up on the previous item. ... HC Leslie Frazier said the Vikings will make a determination about Peterson's Week 17 status when they get back on the practice field this week -- the team will practice on Tuesday, while shifting its normal off-day to Wednesday because of the Christmas holiday. It seems unlikely Peterson would do much in practice on Tuesday, but as the week goes on, the Vikings will be monitoring him closely.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Frazier pulled Peterson from Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Bengals in part because the Vikings' big deficit wasn't worth risking further injury to Peterson's sprained foot. But the Vikings might have to see some improvement in Peterson's condition before they'll put him on the field for Sunday's season finale against the Detroit Lions. Stay tuned. Frazier confirmed that backup running back Toby Gerhart again strained his right hamstring on Sunday, two weeks after his initial injury in Baltimore.
