Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As we
previously noted, the Peterson could undergo further tests later this week, but it appears the Vikings want to monitor the healing process for a longer time period before making a final determination. Schefter's reporting lends further credence to that notion -- although we're still wondering how that aspect of the report truly precludes surgery. Whatever the case, we'll continue to monitor and pass along pertinent info as it's released. For now, Peterson is cleared to take part in this weekend's mini-camp.
