Peterson Officially Questionable; Unofficially Good To Go
Following up on the ongoing story. ... Officially, Adrian Peterson is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bengals. But as Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith notes, all indications are that he’s good to go.

Peterson himself told reporters today that he expects to play on Sunday, and head coach Leslie Frazier said he thinks Peterson is good to go as well.

For all the fears about a serious injury when Peterson was carted off the field two weeks ago against the Ravens, he’s going to end up missing just one game.

Peterson will attempt to catch Eagles running back LeSean McCoy for the NFL rushing lead. McCoy currently leads Peterson by 122 yards. If Peterson can catch McCoy, he’ll become the first player since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2006 and 2007 to lead the league in rushing two years in a row.

Meanwhile, Frazier also told reports that Toby Gerhart (hamstring) should be ready to go against the Eagles. "Based on today and if everything goes good tomorrow, he should be good to go on Sunday," the coach said of Gerhart.

John Carlson (concussion) will be listed as doubtful.
