MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Adrian Peterson is returning to the Minnesota Vikings, and the star running back tells The Associated Press that he hasn’t lost his love for the team.<\/p>\n

Peterson sent an e-mail to the AP early Tuesday morning saying he’s excited to put on a uniform again after missing the final 15 games of last season while addressing child abuse charges in Texas. The Vikings open their second set of three voluntary practices on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Peterson skipped all three practices last week. He tells the AP that he had a family commitment that caused him to be absent. But he tweeted last week that he was looking for more long-term security. He tells the AP that “it’s normal procedure for any player in my position to want to secure his future.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
