Adrian Peterson returned to practice for the Minnesota Vikings on Friday and is expected to play in Sunday's game at Cincinnati as long as he doesn't have any setbacks with his sprained right foot. Peterson, the league's second-leading rusher, is listed as questionable for Minnesota (4-9-1). He missed last week's game after spraining his foot a week earlier at Baltimore. The NFL MVP trails Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy by 122 yards for the league rushing title with two games left.

Another starter, defensive end Brian Robison, was listed as questionable for Sunday because of a muscle spasm in his neck.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder says his injured left shoulder is ready to go and he wants to start against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Coach Leslie Frazier says he'll wait until Saturday before making a decision. Ponder is still recovering from a dislocated left shoulder, but the right-handed quarterback was able to go through practice this week. He says he expects to be ready to go on Sunday. Ponder was injured in the third quarter of the Vikings' last game against Washington. That was a Thursday night game, though, so he's had a little extra time to treat the injury and prepare for the Seahawks.
Ask around and you're liable to get a variety of explanations why Adrian Peterson and Marshawn Lynch are two of the top running backs in the NFL.
Entering the critical third year of his career, Christian Ponder contributed to Minnesota's three straight losses to start the season. Then he broke a rib. After sitting out a game to heal, he found himself on the bench for two more weeks.
