Adrian Peterson to participate in offseason programApril 09, 2014 | 01:06 PM

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said he's close to full strength after undergoing groin surgery in late January, reports NFL.com. Peterson will participate in offseason workouts. "I can't really put a date on it, but I do look forward to participating," Peterson said. "Right now the most important thing is getting healthy and that's what I'm doing. I'm rehabbing, working out still, trying to get the body back to where it needs to be." Peterson doesn't expect the groin injury to be a factor this summer or fall. "I can't sit here and say that I'm back right now, but I am not far off at all," he said.
