Peterson returned to the field with a lot of hype last Sunday, but he wasn’t able to back it up, racking up just 22 yards on six carries. Minnesota needs a series of miracles to make the NFC Playoffs, so if Peterson isn’t as healthy as the team wants him to be, they don’t have a lot of incentive to rush him back to face Green Bay.
