  • Receives 2020 option

    Washington announced Wednesday that it exercised Peterson's $2.5 million team option for the 2020 season.

    Analysis: Washington can still clear out cap space if Peterson is released at a later date, but it makes sense to keep him around after Derrius Guice managed just five regular-season appearances through his first two years in the NFL. Elsewhere in the Washington backfield, Chris Thompson is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, while 2019 fourth-round pick Bryce Love (knee) is expected to compete for a role. Peterson will turn 35 in March.

  • Solid in season finale

    Peterson carried the ball 13 times for 78 yards in Sunday's 47-16 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: He also caught one of four targets for zero yards. Peterson showed he was still a capable lead back late in the season after Derrius Guice (knee) got hurt once again, amassing 355 rushing yards and four TDs over the last five games. The future Hall of Famer has one year left on his current contract with Washington that carries a reasonable $3 million cap hit, but whether Peterson returns to the club or has to look for a job elsewhere in the offseason will depend on who gets hired as the new…read more

  • Cleared for season finale

    Peterson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Dallas.

    Analysis: Peterson was held out of practice Thursday before returning as a full participant Friday. He's seen 31 carries and five targets in two games since Derrius Guice (knee) was placed back on injured reserve, dominating playing time on early downs while Chris Thompson has handled the majority of the passing-down work.

  • Listed with toe injury Thursday

    Peterson's absence from practice Thursday was attributed to a toe injury on the Redskins' official practice report.

    Analysis: Despite Peterson's appearance on the report, all indications are that he was receiving a maintenance day Thursday and isn't any real danger of sitting out the Week 17 game in Dallas. The 34-year-old is in line to lead Washington's rushing attack in the season finale and has a good chance to reach the 1,000-yard scrimmage threshold for the 10th time in his 13-year career. He'll enter Sunday just 38 yards shy of the benchmark.

  • Getting day of rest Thursday

    Peterson received a rest day Thursday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: For most of the final three months of the season, Peterson has been listed on Redskins' practice reports with an injury of some type, primarily a toe issue. On the first Week 17 version Wednesday, he wasn't included at all, meaning his typical Thursday DNP can be chalked up as a true vet day off. Look for Peterson to continue leading his team's backfield Sunday in Dallas while Chris Thompson and Wendell Smallwood provide support.

  • Salvages day with rushing TD

    Peterson carried 15 times for 36 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-35 loss to the Giants. He also caught two passes for 19 yards.

    Analysis: Peterson struggled against a respectable Giants run defense, averaging just 2.4 yards per carry on the day. He salvaged his performance with a one-yard touchdown plunge in the fourth quarter and chipped in with a pair of catches as well. Peterson has now scored a rushing touchdown in four consecutive games and will look to finish off his age-34 season on a high note next Sunday against the Cowboys.

  • Cleared to play

    Peterson (toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Peterson returned to full practice participation Friday after his customary rest day Thursday. He's the unquestioned lead runner in Washington now that Derrius Guice (knee) is on injured reserve, landing in an excellent position to see double-digit carries for a fifth consecutive week. Peterson posted a 16-66-1 rushing line and a 3-25-0 receiving line on 60 percent snap share during last week's 37-27 loss to Philadelphia. He's now set to face a Giants defense that ranks 15th in fantasy points…read more

  • Getting day off Thursday

    Peterson (toe) didn't practice Thursday, Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington reports.

    Analysis: Peterson is getting his customary day off from practice, but there's little worry about his availability for Sunday's game against the Giants. Assuming he ditches his designation Friday, per usual, he'll be the Redskins' lead back this weekend versus the NFL's 22nd-ranked run defense (115.1 yards per game).

  • Ties Walter Payton's TD mark

    Peterson rushed 16 times for 66 yards and a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for another 25 yards in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Peterson worked as the lead back in this one, with Josh Ferguson siphoning off only three carries for nine yards. The future Hall of Famer tied Walter Payton for fourth all-time with his 110th career rushing touchdown, reversing field after his initial lane was blocked off to find the end zone from 10 yards out. With Derrius Guice (knee) on IR, Peterson should continue to carry the mail in a favorable Week 16 home matchup against the NFC East rival Giants.

  • Good to go for Week 15

    Peterson (toe) was a full participant in Friday's practice and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: The toe injury prevented Peterson from practicing a day earlier, but his ability to take every rep during the final session of the week implies that his absence Thursday may have maintenance-related more than anything else. With his health intact, Peterson should be in position to lead the Washington ground attack for the final three games of the season after Derrius Guice (knee) landed on injured reserve earlier this week.

  • Sits out Thursday due to toe issue

    Peterson (toe) missed Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Per usual, Peterson is getting his weekly respite as he tends to a lingering toe issue. Expect him to ditch the designation Friday, at which point he'll be primed to take on a full workload out of the Redskins' backfield. With Derrius Guice (knee) landing on IR this week, Peterson only has to contend with Wendell Smallwood, Chris Thompson and Josh Ferguson for reps down the stretch.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Peterson (undisclosed) was held out of practice Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Peterson is receiving his customary Thursday off, and while the previous DNPs more or less have been maintenance-related, an injury (likely his toe) will be referenced on the Redskins' second Week 15 practice report. Confirmation will arrive Thursday afternoon.

  • Primed for more carries

    Peterson is expected to serve as the Redskins' undisputed No. 1 running back for the rest of the season after Derrius Guice (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Chris Thompson, Wendell Smallwood and Josh Ferguson are the other remaining backs on the 53-man roster, but all three profile as change-of-pace options or pass-catching specialists and aren't likely to challenge Peterson for the lead ball-carrying duties like Guice had. After Guice was forced out early in the Week 14 loss to the Packers, Washington turned to Peterson (20 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown) as its workhorse. Despite being listed on the Redskins' initial Week 15 injury report…read more

  • Workhorse role in loss

    Peterson rushed 20 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in the Redskins' 20-15 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Peterson ended up seeing a true lead-back workload with Derrius Guice exiting the contest early due to a knee injury. At 34 years of age, Peterson has logged at least 20 carries in three games overall this season, and with 718 rushing yards and three games remaining, he retains an outside chance at a second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. Peterson could be in for solid volume once again Week 15 against the Eagles if Guice is forced to miss that contest.

  • Set to suit up Sunday

    Peterson (toe) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Peterson was afforded the day off Thursday to rest a lingering toe injury, but otherwise he was listed as a full participant in the Redskins' other two practices this week. The team seems to be operating with a committee approach to its backfield since Derrius Guice returned from IR in Week 11. In three games in the meantime, Peterson has totaled 35 touches for 178 yards from scrimmage and one touchdown, while Guice has gobbled up 31 touches for 244 yards from scrimmage and three TDs.

  • Back at practice

    Peterson (toe) took part in Friday's practice, Kyle Stackpole of the Redskins' official site reports.

    Analysis: Peterson was held out of Thursday's practice to rest his toe, but it was suspected that his absence was mainly for maintenance reasons. His return to work Friday puts him back on track to take the field Sunday against the Packers.

  • Gets day off Thursday

    Peterson (toe) didn't practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Despite going from FP on Wednesday to DNP one day later, Peterson's standing isn't in question due to the regular maintenance he receives on a weekly basis. Expect the Redskins to clarify his availability for Week 14 upon the release of Friday's injury report.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Peterson was absent from Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Redskins have given Peterson regular maintenance days this season, so he's likely getting the day off to tend to his most-recent health concern, a toe injury. Despite having Derrius Guice back in the fold the past three games, Peterson still has racked up 35 touches for 178 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Meanwhile, Guice has turned 31 touches into 244 yards from scrimmage and three TDs in that same span.

  • Runs for 99 yards and a score

    Peterson carried 13 times for 99 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Peterson led the team in carries and averaged an impressive 7.6 yards per tote in this strong performance. He capped off his day with a 12-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, which was his first since Week 2 against the Cowboys. Peterson appears to be in a rather even timeshare with rookie Derrius Guice at the moment, but this outing was a reminder that he can still produce given the right matchup. He will now turn his attention to next Sunday's date with a beatable Packers run defense.

  • Cleared to play

    Peterson (toe) doesn't have a designation on the final injury report for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Chris Thompson (toe) is expected to return from a lengthy absence and should have a larger role than what third-string option Wendell Smallwood has held the past couple weeks. Peterson and Derrius Guice are still the favorites to get carries, but it's a muddled, crowded backfield in arguably the NFL's worst offense. There isn't much cause for optimism, even in a matchup with Carolina's lousy run defense (5.0 yards per carry allowed).

  • Held out of practice Thursday

    Peterson (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Peterson has received plenty of maintenance this season as he tends to a variety of injuries. His toe is afflicting him at the moment, as he fit in some practice reps Wednesday before Thursday's absence. There's been no sign Peterson won't be out there Sunday in Carolina, but there is a chance he's joined by Chris Thompson, who last played Week 6 due to a case of turf toe. If so, all of Peterson, Thompson and Derrius Guice will be contending for reps out of the Redskins' backfield.

  • Limited by toe again

    Peterson (toe) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: In the Redskins' Week 10 win against the Lions, three different running backs were utilized, with Derrius Guice (41 percent of the offensive snaps) leading the way, followed by Peterson (34 percent) and Wendell Smallwood (28 percent). Guice and Peterson both received 11 touches, but neither back was particularly productive (38 versus 49 yards from scrimmage, respectively). The breakdown of reps out of Washington's backfield could be even more cluttered when Chris Thompson (toe) is cleared to…read more

  • Tallies 49 yards in win

    Peterson ran for 27 yards on 10 carries and added a 22-yard catch during Sunday's 19-16 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: The Lions stuffed the run for most of the game, but Peterson made a difference in the passing game late in the fourth quarter, cutting across the middle for a 22-yard catch-and-run to help set up a game-tying field goal. On the ground, Peterson was held under three yards per carry for the fifth time in 10 games this season. Though he averaged 5.1 yards per carry during an impressive four-game stretch from Weeks 6 through 9, he's averaged just 2.7 yards per game in his other six contests,…read more

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Peterson (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Peterson's toe injury restricted him to just one limited practice this week, but the Redskins felt comfortable enough with his health to give him the green light for game day. The veteran will presumably draw the start at running back, but he's not a safe bet to fill a high-volume role he enjoyed earlier in the season now that he's tending to an injury and faces a threat for work in Derrius Guice. In his return from injured reserve in last week's loss to the Jets, Guice played 28 percent of the…read more

  • In line to play

    Peterson (toe), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is on track to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport's report matches the prevailing sentiment that surrounded Peterson's Week 12 status following Friday's practice, where he participated on a limited basis. The Redskins aren't expected to welcome Chris Thompson (toe) back from a four-game absence, but the recent addition of Derrius Guice from injured reserve in addition to his own injury likely puts a cap on Peterson's fantasy upside relative to earlier in the season. When Guice returned from a nine-week absence in the Redskins' Week 11…read more

  • Questionable after Friday practice

    Peterson (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit after he returned to practice Friday as a limited participant.

    Analysis: Fellow running back Chris Thompson (toe) also is listed as questionable, with Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington suggesting that Peterson would be more likely to play if the team were to hold out Thompson for another week. It all lends to a confusing situation ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, with Derrius Guice the only running back locked in for a significant workload. The extent of that role partially depends on the availability of his teammates, which may not be known until…read more

  • On pace to play Sunday

    Interim coach Bill Callahan said he expects Peterson (toe) to practice Friday and suit up Sunday against the Lions, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: According to John Keim of ESPN.com, Callahan termed Peterson's DNP on Wednesday a "day off," but the absence extended into Thursday. Peterson likely doesn't have to practice in full Friday to be cleared for game action. However, when it comes to Sunday's contest, Peterson will have to contend with rookie Derrius Guice and perhaps Chris Thompson (toe) out of the backfield, making it difficult to predict the team's breakdown of backfield touches.

  • Not seen at practice

    Peterson (toe) wasn't spotted during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Peterson's status won't be confirmed until the Redskins release their injury report, but it appears he's logging a second DNP in a row. After Peterson, Derrius Guice and Chris Thompson (toe) have made appearances in both sessions, so this backfield remains one to watch as the week goes on.

  • Gets 'day off' Wednesday

    Coach Bill Callahan called Peterson's (toe) absence from practice Wednesday a "day off," John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Such has been Peterson's reality for the past month due to a number of health concerns. Currently, he's tending to a toe injury, which caused him to move about with a visible limp Monday. Aside from Peterson, Derrius Guice returned to action in last week's loss to the Jets. Chris Thompson (toe) was also back at practice Wednesday, so the Redskins' backfield is suddenly crowded.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Peterson (toe) didn't practice Wednesday, Craig Hoffman of 106.7 The Fan Washington reports.

    Analysis: Peterson has tended to a number of lower-body injuries the past month, the most recent of them being a toe issue. After sharing backfield work with Derrius Guice and Wendell Smallwood last weekend against the Jets, Peterson was spotted with a noticeable limp Monday. On top of that, fellow veteran Chris Thompson (toe) returned to practice Wednesday, so Peterson's standing in the Redskins' backfield is somewhat precarious.

  • Shut down by Jets' stout rush D

    Peterson logged 25 rushing yards on nine carries and caught both of his targets for five receiving yards during Sunday's 34-17 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: The game script was completely flipped from Washington's last matchup against Buffalo on Nov. 3, as rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins was asked to put up 35 pass attempts with the Redskins falling into a 17-point halftime deficit. Such a scenario fades the utility of Peterson, who was held to single-digit carries for just the second time this season. The upcoming matchup is ideal for the veteran Peterson so long as Washington can stay within striking distance against Detroit, as the Lions'…read more

    Peterson is expected to remain the Redskins' starting running back Sunday against the Jets, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Interim coach Bill Callahan already hinted that Peterson would retain the top spot on the depth chart even with Week 1 starter Derrius Guice (knee) back from injured reserve, though the coach pledged that Guice would get plenty of work, per JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington. Most likely, the Redskins will task Guice with filling the change-of-pace/pass-catching role that has typically belonged to Chris Thompson (toe), who is inactive for a fourth straight game.

  • Avoids Week 11 designation

    Peterson (toe) put in a full practice Friday.

    Analysis: Peterson's minor toe injury kept him from practicing Thursday and limited his participation Wednesday, but Washington never had much real concern about his status heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. He'll enter the weekend free of a designation and on track to handle a starting role, though Peterson may struggle to maintain the 20 touches per game he's averaged over the past four games. Washington reinstated Derrius Guice (knee) from injured reserve earlier this week, with interim…read more

  • Logs 'day of rest' Thursday

    Interim coach Bill Callahan said Peterson (toe) had a veteran day off Thursday and will be "fine" to play Sunday against the Jets, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Peterson isn't out of the woods yet, as he was limited by a toe injury at Wednesday's practice. Still, Callahan has insisted Peterson will remain the Redskins' lead back, even with Derrius Guice (knee) set to be available for the first time since Week 1. Friday's practice report should provide the final word regarding Peterson's status.

  • Held out of practice Thursday

    Peterson (toe) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: On the heels of the Redskins' bye week, Peterson is tending to a toe injury that limited him Wednesday before Thursday's absence. The plan may be maintenance-based, but his status now should be monitored closely as the week continues. With the impending return of Derrius Guice (knee) from injured reserve, Peterson already was expected to yield some of his heavy recent workload, which included 20 touches per game in the four contests before the midseason break.

  • Limited by toe injury

    Peterson was limited in practice Wednesday due to a toe injury.

    Analysis: Peterson's reps were previously capped by a Grade 1 high-ankle sprain and Grade 2 low-ankle sprain, but he still served as the Redskins' lead runner, mostly due to lack of depth with Derrius Guice (knee) on injured reserve and Chris Thompson tending to turf toe. Guice is back in action Sunday against the Jets and Thompson remains sidelined, but interim coach Bill Callahan still considers Peterson to be the team's No. 1 back. Assuming Peterson gets past his current health concern, he'll serve in…read more

  • Keeping No. 1 role

    Interim coach Bill Callahan said Wednesday that Peterson remains the No. 1 running back on the Redskins' depth chart, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Peterson had free rein out of the Redskins' backfield in the four contests before the team's Week 10 bye, averaging 20 touches and 112.5 yards from scrimmage per game. However, the offense managed just two touchdowns during that stretch, and neither of them went to Peterson. With Derrius Guice (knee) completing his stint on injured reserve, Peterson seems poised to yield some work to the second-year back. Still, Peterson's status as the top option should ensure he maintains a steady workload…read more

  • May keep starting job

    Peterson won't necessarily lose his starting job to Derrius Guice, who was activated Wednesday from injured reserve, ESPN.com's John Keim reports.

    Analysis: Peterson enters a Week 10 bye after four consecutive games with at least 81 rushing yards and 4.1 yards per carry. It hasn't been enough to pull Washington's offense out of the gutter, but it does provide solid evidence that the 34-year-old is still a useful NFL player. The nature of the workload split between Peterson and Guice may partially depend on the health of passing-down back Chris Thompson, who missed the past three games due to turf toe. If Thompson isn't ready after the bye week,…read more

  • Joined in backfield by Guice

    Peterson's hold on the No. 1 running back role in Washington may have loosened after the Redskins activated Derrius Guice (knee) from injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Redskins are in the middle of a bye week, but Guice will be eligible to return to action Week 11, when the team hosts the Jets at home. Peterson has proven capable as a workhorse over the last four weeks, averaging 18.8 carries and 95.8 rushing yards per game, but it's unclear how interim coach Bill Callahan plans to divvy up the reps in the backfield moving forward. With rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins expected to retain the starting quarterback job Week 11, it's possible that the team…read more

  • Monstrous first half against Bills

    Peterson ran for 108 yards on 18 carries and caught his only target for 22 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: The veteran Peterson was leaned upon heavily in the first half against the Bills, delivering 83 rushing yards on nine attempts as interim coach Bill Callahan only required rookie Dwayne Haskins to drop back nine times through the first two quarters of play. Though he has not accounted for more than two receptions or 27 receiving yards in a game this season, Peterson has still proven capable of providing a high fantasy floor of late, averaging 95.8 rushing yards per game over the past four…read more

  • To be used early and often

    Peterson is expected to get a lot of work Sunday at Buffalo in what amounts to rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins' first NFL start, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The key to success for Haskins will be staying in positive down and distance, and Peterson's veteran savvy will be relied upon to do exactly that. With Chris Thompson (toe) missing a third consecutive contest, Peterson shouldn't have to worry too much about the remaining running backs on the game-day roster -- Wendell Smallwood and Craig Reynolds -- who have combined for nine touches (all by Smallwood) in Thompson's stead. Peterson himself has averaged 20.3 touches for 106.7 yards from…read more

  • Cleared to play

    Peterson (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Buffalo, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Peterson was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday to rest the same ankle injury he played through without any problem in last week's 19-9 loss to the Vikings. His return to practice Friday locks him in as the lead back, while Chris Thompson (toe) will miss at least one more game. The gameplan should call for a heavy dose of Peterson in the first NFL start for quarterback Dwayne Haskins, but the plan will fall apart if the Bills establish a large lead.

    Peterson (ankle) is practicing Friday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Despite playing through the ankle injury last week, Peterson was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday. His return to the field Friday puts him on track to play Sunday at Buffalo.
