The Minneapolis Star-Tribune suggests that Vikings RB Adrian Peterson could make his preseason debut on Friday.

“We’re going to get him a little bit more each day and see how he responds,” head coach Leslie Frazier said Sunday. “We need to determine what’s the next step.”

The best chance of getting that preseason work will be Friday night when the Vikings figure to use their starters for the entire first half and perhaps early into the third quarter against the Chargers. Will that open the door for Peterson to see some work?

“We have some ideas on how we want to approach it,” Frazier said. “But a lot of it depends on how he feels with some of the things we’re going to give him this week.”

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
