Running back Adrian Peterson returned to practice on Friday at Winter Park, indicating he should be available for Sunday's visit to Green Bay with the NFC North title on the line.

Peterson (ankle/shoulder) and nose tackle Linval Joseph (foot) both missed Wednesday and Thursday's practices, but Joseph was still unable to return Friday. He stretched with the team and then left the field for the training room.

Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd (knee) also sat out on Friday after stretching with the team. He practiced in a limited role on Wednesday and Thursday.

Defensive end Everson Griffen (shoulder) returned after missing Thursday's practice.

The final injury report will be released Friday afternoon.
