Report: Adrian Peterson to visit Redskins

USA TODAY Sports

Former league MVP and seven-time Pro Bowl running back Adrian Peterson will take a free-agent visit Monday to the Washington Redskins, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.

The Redskins are in the market for running back depth after a rash of preseason injuries cost them rookie Derrius Guice for the year, and Samaje Perine and Byron Marshall for the time being.

Washington reportedly began hosting veteran tailbacks Sunday, with former Kansas City Chiefs workhorse Jamaal Charles and former New York Giants rotation man Orleans Darkwa among those coming in for workouts.

Peterson, 33, split last season between the Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints, posting 529 yards and two touchdowns over 10 games.

A three-time rushing champion with the Minnesota Vikings, Peterson has been determined to continue his career in 2018 despite the apparent lack of interest in his services throughout most of the offseason.
