Analysis: This is speculation right now, but with the third game of the preseason typically being the dress rehearsal for most teams, Peterson’s return to the field would be beneficial for Minnesota. However, they can’t afford to rush him back too quickly. His progress appears to be ahead of schedule by most accounts, and he hasn’t suffered any setbacks throughout rehab. Peterson isn’t going through contact drills at the moment, something that he will discuss with his coaches this week. Fantasy owners should still hold back on their expectations for now, as Peterson has plenty of work left to do.
