The scene has been set for Adrian Peterson to return to the Minnesota Vikings, and USA Today is reporting that his teammates support him fully.
“I think everybody’s hopeful that he’ll have an opportunity to come back,” fullback Jerome Felton told USA TODAY Sports. “He’ll definitely have 100% support in the locker room.”
“We’ve stood behind him this whole time,” tight end Kyle Rudolph said. “You’d be crazy not to welcome him back into that locker room.”
Peterson, 29, entered a no-contest plea to a reduced charge of misdemeanor reckless assault Tuesday afternoon, avoiding jail time, and setting the stage for an improbable return.
