Adrian Peterson de volta à formação inicial do Redskins

All Day is back in theWashington Redskins‘ starting lineup.

WithDerrius Guiceinjured, coach Jay Gruden said Wednesday thatAdrian Petersonwill get the start Sunday versus theDallas Cowboys.

The 34-year-old Peterson wasinactive Sundayin theRedskinsseason-opening loss to thePhiladelphia Eaglesas Gruden decided to ride with Guice.

The second-year pro, however, suffered another knee injury — opposite leg of the torn ACL that cost Guice his entire rookie campaign — and is expected to miss a few weeks. Gruden said there is no update on the running back’s health as of Wednesday.

So Gruden will turn back to Peterson to carry the load on first and second downs.

After Sunday’s tilt, the coach explained All Day being inactive by saying: “So if we have a game where we think we can run the ball 55 times in a game in an I-formation, then sure, I’ll get him up.”

With Guice’s injury, theRedskinsnow need Peterson.

Gruden said he talked to Peterson, and the running back is in “a good place” after being inactive.

As for whether the situation could arise where AD is inactive once again, Gruden pushed that question into the future.

“That’s in the past,” he said “We’ll worry about (that) when they’re both healthy again. If that decision has to come again.”

Until Guice is healthy, theRedskinswill ride Peterson. If there is one thing we’ve seen from the future Hall of Famer, it’s that when he’s counted out, Peterson runs angry. All Day.
