The Facts:
HC Brad Childress said Peterson will play against the Lions "providing he's able to make it through a week of practice." Childress added: "He's just got to continue to progress and make it through a full week of practice and our game plan."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Peterson had a follow-up MRI today that showed "excellent healing" of the slightly torn LCL he suffered Nov. 11. He is also growing more comfortable with a custom-fit brace and is confident he is on target in his rehabilitation. "Once I get a full week of practice under my belt," he said, "I'm pretty sure I'll be ready to play. We're just going to take it one day at a time. Each day I've been improving, so [I'll] try to keep it up. ..." By all accounts, Peterson was close enough to playing yesterday to be a near lock to return this week.
