Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has told ESPN that he will attend Organized Team Activities at Winter Park starting today.
Peterson told the network: "I'm returning because I want to. I'm a part of this football team and I owe it to the guys I play with and to our coaches. I was planning on coming in this week, and I'm looking forward to getting back on the field. It's what I love to do."
Peterson did not attend last week's OTAs, which are voluntary workouts.
