Vikings GM says Adrian Peterson's status not yet decided (Yahoo Sports)

Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman says Adrian Peterson's status has not been decided, two weeks before the deadline for exercising an option on the running back's contract that would cost the club $18 million in 2017. Spielman addressed reporters Thursday for the first time since the Vikings finished 8-8 after a 5-0 start in 2016. Peterson's hefty hit to the salary cap, which includes a $6 million roster bonus, has made his return uncertain.
