The Facts: Before he departed Minnesota at the end of the Vikings' mandatory minicamp, Peterson made it clear he wasn't leaving much time for leisure in the five weeks before training camp. Indeed, Peterson is back in Houston working out -- and he brought a couple Vikings teammates with him.

Diehards Line: Peterson, who married his longtime girlfriend Ashley Brown last July, had talked about going to Europe with her for a honeymoon. But Ashley Peterson is now pregnant with the couple's second child and the honeymoon is again on hold. So workouts makes sense. According to ESPN.com's Ben Goessling, receiver Mike Wallace and running back Jerick McKinnon are in Houston this week, working out with Peterson and his longtime trainer, James Cooper. From a photo Peterson tweeted out, the group went through a four-hour workout on Thursday, running hills, cutting in a sand pit and lifting weights. And that's exactly what you want to hear about a guy coming back from close to a full season off.
