Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson will practice this week with the team and will play this coming Sunday in New Orleans, the team said Monday morning.

The general manager said the photos of the cuts and marks on Peterson's son were "disturbing" but added "we feel strongly it's the court's decision to make" on whether Peterson's discipline "went too far."
