Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will not suit up for the Vikings in Green Bay on Saturday.

Peterson, who returned from a knee injury in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Colts, did not practice this week. He was listed with both knee and groin injuries after seven touches in 12 snaps on Sunday.

Safety Harrison Smith (ankle) and receiver Stefon Diggs (hip) are questionable to play after being listed as full participants during Friday's team activities.

Guard Brandon Fusco (concussion), fullback Zach Line (concussion) and receiver Laquon Treadwell (ankle) have also been ruled out for the Vikings.
