Peterson speaks

No. 1 pick Adrian Peterson, in a conference call with the Minnesota media, assured Vikings fans that he expects to be ready for minicamp, despite a collarbone injury that some teams reportedly believed might require surgery.

"Definitely. I feel that way," he said.

Peterson also said he was fine with sharing the running back duties with returning starter Chester Taylor.

"I'm all for that," he said. "It's all about what's good for the team."
