Report: Lions will sign RB Adrian Peterson

Lions fans just waking up on Sunday morning got a jolt in the form of a surprise signing. Per a report from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, the Lions are signing veteran RB Adrian Peterson.

Peterson was cut by the Washington Football Team earlier this weekend. The 35-year-old ran for 898 yards in 14 games in Washington last season.

He’s best-known for his All-Pro days with the Minnesota Vikings. Peterson made four first-team All-Pro nods between 2008 and 2015. He ranks fifth on the NFL’s career rushing yardage list with 14,216 yards.
