EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- After a week of practice, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson says he is ready to return to the field.Appearing on Dash Radio with DJ Skee (who provides pregame entertainment for Vikings home games), Peterson said he plans to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, adding that a week of practice following his return from a torn meniscus showed me Im ready to roll.Peterson will be the starting running back Sunday, the Vikings announced.The Vikings officially activated Peterson on Saturday, who had surgery on his torn right meniscus Sept. 22 and has been on injured reserve since.Peterson said Friday afternoon that he made the decision to play after talking with coach Mike Zimmer, running backs coach Kevin Stefanski and the Vikings athletic training staff.I was able to come to the conclusion, talking to the head coach, my position coach and the training staff, that Im going to go, Peterson said.The betting line for Sundays game has gone from Minnesota minus-4 to minus-5 at many Las Vegas sportsbooks since Petersons announcement.On Thursday, Zimmer had said that the call would come after a group discussion, adding, Its a lot to do with the medical [diagnosis].Peterson said Thursday that he would wear a knee brace if he did return this season, which he typically has preferred not to do. Given how quickly he plans to return from the injury, though, the running back said it makes sense to take extra caution.The 31-year-old running back opted in September for a full repair of his meniscus, which typically requires between four and six months of recovery. League sources told ESPN in November, however, that Petersons knee was 90 percent healed and said the running back was looking to come back Dec. 18 against the Colts or Dec. 24 against the Green Bay Packers. Peterson said last week that it would be pointless to return if the Vikings -- who were 6-6 at the time before a win Sunday in Jacksonville -- were out of the playoff race.The Vikings enter Week 15 two games behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North and one game back of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the second wild-card spot.He will have to reacquaint himself with an offense that has changed since Pat Shurmur replaced Norv Turner as offensive coordinator in November.There certainly are some new things were doing that hes not as familiar with, Shurmur said. Hes been in meetings. Hes been around. Hes somewhat familiar with what were doing. But knowing it and actually executing it are two different things.Said Peterson on the radio: Ive been having my head in the playbook this week, just anticipating going out there as well. Ive got some things I need to clean up a little bit, but Ill be out there on Sunday.According to a Billboard story from August 2014, Peterson was one of the founding investors in Dash Radio, a free streaming music service founded by DJ Skee, aka Scott Kearney, a Twin Cities native.

BALTIMORE RAVENS (5-11)OPEN CAMP: July 27, Owings Mills, MarylandLAST YEAR: Ravens stumbled to first losing season since coach John Harbaugh took over in 2008. Injuries began on first day of training camp, when top draft pick WR Breshad Perriman tore ligament in knee that sidelined him entire season. Injuries to LB Terrell Suggs, WR Steve Smith, RB Justin Forsett and QB Joe Flacco followed. Eight starters ended up on injured reserve.IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: S Eric Weddle, WR Mike Wallace, TE Benjamin Watson, RB Trent Richardson, rookie OT Ronnie Stanley.IMPORTANT LOSSES: OL Kelechi Osemele, LBs Courtney Upshaw and Daryl Smith, QB Matt Schaub, S Brynden Trawick, OT Eugene Monroe, DE Chris Canty.CAMP NEEDS: Most of all, Ravens need to be healthy. Flacco returns from knee injury that sidelined him over final six weeeks, and will be used sparingly in camp.dddddddddddd Elsewhere, Ravens have several positions up for grabs. Release of Daryl Smith leaves LBs C.J. Mosley and Arthur Brown competing for playing time inside. Also, secondary has shortage of bodies.EXPECTATIONS: Ravens dont intend to endure rebuilding season. Harbaugh will take it easy on veterans coming back from injury, and newcomers have already gone through basics in minicamp. Hope is additions outweigh losses and Baltimore will avoid rash of injuries that helped ruin 2015. Also on agenda is finding way to improve 5-9 record in games decided by eight points or fewer.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
