The Facts:
HC Brad Childress said on Tuesday the Vikings will have "one more pow-wow," probably next week, to make a final determination about Peterson's availaibility for the start of training camp. Childress stressed that Peterson "hasn't had any backsteps," but it will be necessary to perform one more evaluation before he is officially cleared for contact. "We'll just get one more baseline [test] of where he is," the coach said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Peterson is recovering from a broken collarbone that he reinjured Jan. 1. The team decided in May to bypass surgery, believing Peterson would heal on his own in time for camp. ... While all indications are Peterson will be physically ready, there are still other obstacles for the first-round draft pick -- like agreeing to and signing a contract before camp opens on July 27.
