Peterson was held out of the Monday ill fated out door game on Monday night. Earlier in the day news broke that Peterson was definitely planning on playing. More recently we have gotten word that Leslie Frazier is much less optimistic. After holding AP out of practice, Frazier told assembled media that the RB was very sore and that he is day-today at this point.

Peterson could have a good day against a smallish Eagles defense that has been decimated by injuries. On the other hand, the Eagles will be able to key on Peterson and stack the box. They certainly will not fear Joe Webb. The Birds run defense has risen to the challenge this year against top flight rushers. They surrendered just 45 yards to Michael Turner, 52 yards to Frank Gore, 66 yards to Chris Johnson, 83 yards to Arian Foster, and 88 yards to MJD.

If Peterson plays he is a guy that simply must be in your starting lineup. If he is inactive, Toby Gerhart starts we think he is an RB#3.
