News

  • Efficient in short performance

    Peterson carried the ball four times for 31 yards in the Redskins' second preseason game against the Bengals on Thursday.

    Analysis: Peterson received carries on the team's first two offensive drives. He made an immediate impression, breaking off a 26-yard gain on his first rush of the contest. Entering the season with 13,318 career-rushing yards, Peterson has nothing to prove in preseason action, though he appears prepared for his 14th professional season. With Derrius Guice (knee) still not cleared for contact, Peterson could be in line to receive the bulk of the team's carries to begin the campaign.

  • Practicing again

    Peterson (ankle) returned to practice Sunday.

    Analysis: Briefly sidelined by an ankle injury, Peterson otherwise seems to have enjoyed good health throughout spring and summer practices. He was held out of the preseason opener along with a slew of other key veterans, but he could get a few carries in the second or third week of the exhibition slate. The 34-year-old is facing competition from Derrius Guice (knee), who still hasn't been cleared for full contact but appears on track for a game appearance before the end of the preseason. With Chris…read more

  • Nursing mild ankle issue

    Peterson is expected to sit out Monday's practice while tending to a mild ankle injury, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Peterson missed the Redskins' previous session due to the issue, but coach Jay Gruden said there was little concern about the veteran running back's health heading into the regular season. Though the 34-year-old could be subjected to limited reps during the exhibition slate as a result of the injury, that likely would have been the case even if he was at optimal health. Peterson finished the 2018 season as Washington's top back, but he'll face stiffer competition for reps this season with…read more

  • Sticks with Washington

    Peterson agreed Wednesday to re-sign with the Redskins on a two-year, $8 million contract, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Peterson was a 16-game starter his first season in Washington, producing 4.2 yards per carry and eight total touchdowns even as the rest of the team's offense collapsed amidst an onslaught of injuries. His role for 2019 largely depends on the health of 2018 second-round pick Derrius Guice, who seems to be making good progress after dealing with some early setbacks in his recovery from the ACL tear he suffered in the preseason. The Redskins ideally would like to use Peterson in a complementary…read more

  • Working to stay in Washington

    Peterson is going back and forth with the Redskins to work out terms for a new contract, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington (per Julie Donaldson) reports.

    Analysis: It's no surprise to see both parties interested in a reunion, though there was some thought Peterson would prefer to switch teams now that Derrius Guice (torn ACL) seems to be making good progress in his rehab. The Redskins still hope the second-round pick will be ready for the lead role by Week 1, but that doesn't mean they'll skimp on an insurance plan. Peterson will turn 34 in March and is coming off a 2018 campaign in which he took 251 carries for 1,042 yards (4.2 average) and seven…read more

  • Wants to stay with Washington

    Peterson said he wants to stay with Washington for 2019, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports. "Hopefully I'm back here. I want to be a part of what I see we could be as a team and as an organization. I definitely want to be a part of it," Peterson said Sunday. "That's what I'm going to continue to keep my mind on."

    Analysis: Signed after Derrius Guice suffered a torn ACL during the preseason, Peterson became a 16-game starter for the first time since 2015, taking 251 carries for 1,042 yards (4.2 YPC) and seven touchdowns while catching 20 of 26 targets for 208 yards and another score. His lack of playing time in passing situations unsurprisingly left him with inconsistent production, averaging 21.4 carries for 97 yards with five touchdowns in seven wins, compared to 11.2 carries for 40 yards with three scores in…read more

  • Comeback season ends with whimper

    Peterson netted zero yards on four rushes in the Redskins' 24-0 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: Peterson's forgettable outing Sunday shouldn't detract from what was a remarkable comeback campaign, one in which the multi-time Pro Bowler amassed 1,046 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground, supplementing those numbers with a 20-208-1 line through the air. His success this season notwithstanding, it remains to be seen whether there's another clear-cut lead-back job the likes of which he found in Washington for Peterson in 2019. The 11-year veteran will be 34 in March, but at minimum, he…read more

  • Elevates to full practice

    Peterson (shoulder) was listed as a full participant at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: More often than not, Peterson has rid himself of a designation by week's end since dislocating his shoulder Week 5 in New Orleans. He did just that on his second opportunity to do so during preparations for the season finale. In his previous matchup Week 13 with the Eagles, he ripped off a 90-yard touchdown run but otherwise managed just one yard per carry on his other eight rushes.

  • Limited by shoulder, per usual

    Peterson (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Les Carpenter of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: In last week's loss to the Titans, Peterson clinched the eighth 1,000-yard rushing season of his career, the first time he's reached that benchmark since 2015. The production is rendered more impressive considering that Peterson has been playing through a dislocated shoulder along with the fact that the Redskins have had a patchwork offensive line for a good portion of the season. While the shoulder issue regularly impacts his practice reps, expect Peterson to ditch the injury designation by…read more

  • Reaches 1,000 yards

    Peterson carried 26 times for 119 yards in Saturday's 25-16 loss to the Titans. He caught one of two targets for eight yards.

    Analysis: Peterson's third 100-yard game of the season pushed him over 1,000 rushing yards for the first time since 2015. The 33-year-old appeared to be losing gas over the last two weeks (29 rushes for 67 yards), but his big day on the ground proved that his renaissance year is not over yet. Peterson will look to put a bow on his strong Comeback Player of the Year bid in a matchup against the Eagles' 11th-ranked rush defense in Week 17.

  • Ready for Week 16

    Peterson (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Saturday's game at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Over the course of the previous 10 games -- the amount of time he's dealt with a lingering shoulder injury -- Peterson emerged from the week of prep with a designation a trio of times. After following an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, he'll keep that number at three. Peterson now can focus on a Week 16 matchup with the Titans, who have allowed 90.5 rushing yards per game to running backs this season.

  • Limited again

    Peterson (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Peterson has been nursing the same shoulder injury for most of the season without missing any games. His real concern is the state of Washington's injury-riddled offense heading into a Week 16 road game against the surging Tennessee defense.

  • Limited again by shoulder

    Peterson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on the Redskins' injury report Tuesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: This has been Peterson's reality for more than two months due to a dislocated shoulder suffered in early October. With a short week to prepare for Saturday's game at Tennessee, the Redskins may cap his practice reps this week to keep him fresh, especially with the NFC East still up for grabs. No matter: He'll look to uphold his standard while playing with the injury, which has translated to 17.2 touches for 74.5 yards from scrimmage per game to go with five touchdowns in 10 appearances.

  • Limited effectiveness in win

    Peterson rushed 19 times for 51 yards and caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Peterson got plenty of touches, but he didn't find much running room with the Jaguars focusing on stopping the run and daring fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson to beat them. Expect a similarly large workload against crowded fronts for Peterson against the Titans in Week 16.

  • Cleared to play

    Peterson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per usual, Peterson had his reps scaled back at practice but was never in danger of missing the game. It's a safe bet the Redskins will try to lean on their rushing attack in Sunday's matchup with a Jacksonville team that was humiliated by Derrick Henry last week. Of course, the injury-riddled Washington O-line may have some trouble opening holes without giving the Jaguars defense any reason to respect the pass.

  • Workload limited at practice

    Peterson (shoulder) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though Peterson has opened Week 15 with back-to-back limited practices, he hasn't been forced to miss any games since dislocating his shoulder in early October and that seems unlikely to change Sunday in Jacksonville. More so than his shaky health, Peterson's fantasy utility has plummeted over the last two games due to the season-ending injury to No. 1 quarterback Alex Smith (lower leg). The lack of competent play under center has contributed to the Redskins facing early deficits in both…read more

  • Limited at Wednesday's practice

    Peterson (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Peterson typically has had his practice reps capped to some degree in the first practice of each week since dislocating his shoulder on Oct. 8, only to ditch the designation before gameday. Expect him to follow that path again as the Redskins prepare for a Week 15 matchup with a Jaguars defense that ranks 21st against the run (120.4 yards per game).

  • Bottled up in blowout loss

    Peterson rushed 10 times for 16 yards and added a three-yard catch on his lone target in Sunday's 40-16 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Peterson was bottled up with quarterback Mark Sanchez instilling zero fear into the Giants, and game script called for abandoning the run after Washington fell behind 34-0 at halftime. Those looking for a silver lining can take solace in the fact that Sanchez was replaced by Josh Johnson, who looked effective in the fourth quarter against a defense that admittedly may not have been fully engaged. If Johnson brings a spark to the offense in Week 15, Peterson should find some running room against…read more

  • Cleared for Week 14

    Peterson (shoulder) doesn't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Giants, Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Despite making regular appearances on Washington's injury reports throughout the season, Peterson has emerged without a designation for nine of 12 prior gamedays. While the potential exists for the 33-year-old to aggravate his shoulder during a contest, he should carry the load Sunday against a Giants defense that has yielded 4.4 yards per carry and 16 total touchdowns to running backs in 12 outings.

  • Limited participant Thursday

    Peterson (shoulder) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Peterson followed a normal day off Wednesday with a predictable cap on his reps at Thursday's session. More often than not, he's been cleared of any designation on the final injury report of each week, but this past weekend was a notable exception, when he was questionable for a Week 13 matchup with the Eagles. During said contest, he ripped off the longest TD run of his career (90 yards), so he's generally a decent play in his age-33 season. Assuming he plays Sunday versus the Giants, Peterson…read more

    Peterson (shoulder) was present at Thursday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After his typical veteran day off to manage a lingering shoulder injury, Peterson is back in the fold one day later. His level of participation is of some interest, but the fact he's practicing is enough to know the 33-year-old is trending toward a game appearance, per usual.

  • Held out of practice Wednesday

    Peterson (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: This is more or less a veteran day off for Peterson, with the expectation that he'll make an appearance in practice before week's end. In Monday's loss to the Eagles, 90 of his 98 rushing yards came on one touchdown scamper, but Peterson's upcoming matchup with the Giants should provide a better opportunity for him to consistently find open running room. Over its last five contests, the Giants defense has given up 129.6 rushing yards per game and four scores on the ground to opposing running…read more

  • Career-long run in loss

    Peterson rushed nine times for 98 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 28-13 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Peterson's performance was highlighted by a 90-yard touchdown explosion during the second quarter, which came after starting quarterback Colt McCoy (lower leg) was forced to exit due to injury. That marked the longest run of Peterson's decorated 11-year career, proving he's still a freak athlete at 33 years old. Although he was used sparingly while the Redskins trailed and needed Chris Thompson's pass-catching acumen during the second half, it was still a strong performance for Peterson, who…read more

    Peterson (shoulder) is listed as active Monday at Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Peterson went through his typical routine this week, following a DNP/LP/LP practice regimen with a questionable designation for the incoming contest. There's always the risk of an in-game aggravation of his shoulder injury, which has forced him to the sideline at times this season. He also will have to contend with pass-catching back Chris Thompson (ribs) for the first time since Week 8 and third occasion since Week 3. Fortunately for Peterson, he's taking on an Eagles defense that has…read more

  • Questionable for Week 13

    Updating a previous report, Peterson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, according to Tarik El-Bashir of The Athletic.

    Analysis: A prior report indicated Peterson wouldn't carry a designation into the Week 13 matchup after practicing in a limited fashion Friday and Saturday, but Washington evidently erred on the side of caution by affixing the questionable tag to the running back. Peterson has been playing through the dislocated shoulder since early October, so the expectation is he'll ultimately gain clearance to suit up come Monday. That said, there's a little more risk in keeping Peterson in fantasy lineups than usual…read more

  • Clear of injury designation

    Peterson (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation on the Redskins' preliminary injury report for Monday's game at Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Peterson didn't practice Thursday but progressed to a limited participant Friday, though the Redskins have yet to release Saturday's practice report. The 33-year-old appears as though he should be a full-go for Monday's game against an Eagles team that has allowed a 100-yard rushing effort in each of the last three games. Passing-down specialist Chris Thompson (ribs) is primed for his return, which could put a slight dent in the veteran's snap share.

    Peterson (shoulder) returned to practice Friday as a limited participant.

    Analysis: Peterson likely was just held out of Thursday's session for maintenance as the Redskins prepare for a crucial Monday Night Football matchup with the slumping Philadelphia defense. The Eagles were ripped apart by Ezekiel Elliott, Mark Ingram and Saquon Barkley the past three games, yielding six total touchdowns and a trio of 100-yard rushing performances. Of course, Peterson is more one-dimensional than the aforementioned running backs, and he'll have stiffer competition for snaps with…read more

    Analysis: During Washington's loss on Thanksgiving at Dallas, Peterson hit the sidelines for a spell early in the game and remained there for most of the fourth quarter as the team was in catch-up mode. Because of the offensive snaps lost, he finished with his third-fewest number of yards from scrimmage (44) of the season and didn't receive a red-zone rush for the first time in 11 appearances with the Redskins. Peterson typically is limited or sits out the first practice of each week before getting…read more

  • Struggles through shoulder injury

    Peterson (shoulder) carried 12 times for 35 yards and caught two passes for nine more yards during Thursday's 31-23 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Peterson, who dealt with a shoulder injury leading up to the game, was sidelined early on after taking a hit to the region. He was able to return and played the rest of the game, though he barely saw the field in the fourth quarter as his team played from behind. When he was in the game, it was a hardly a repeat of his 99-yard effort in Week 7 against Dallas, as he finished averaging just 2.9 yards per carry Thursday. Peterson is averaging just 42.8 rushing yards per game over the last four…read more

    Analysis: Even on a short week, the dislocated shoulder Peterson has played through since Oct. 8 hadn't been expected to jeopardize his availability for gameday. The full practice session puts Peterson on track to enter the Thanksgiving Day contest in his native Texas without an injury designation, though the matchup with a tough Dallas defense could hinder his outlook. Back in Week 7, Peterson piled up 99 rushing yards against the Cowboys but needed 24 carries to do so and was kept out of the end zone.…read more

    Analysis: Peterson typically endures some sort of restriction on his practice reps to kick off the week, but the regimen could continue another day or two with the Redskins facing a quick turnaround between games. His performance has waned over the last three games, as evidenced by 3.1 YPC on his 44 rushes during that stretch. However, he offset the lacking production with a two-touchdown effort this past Sunday against the Texans. Assuming he gets the all-clear, per usual, Peterson may find the going…read more

    Analysis: Peterson found paydirt from three yards out in the second quarter and again on a 7-yard run in the fourth. The latter score was his sixth of the season and gave Washington a 21-20 lead with 11:57 remaining. Peterson's volume on the ground for a Redskins team that doesn't get down big often coupled with his goal-line usage have made him a valuable fantasy commodity, but those aspects of his game are likely to be negatively affected by the season-ending broken leg quarterback Alex Smith suffered…read more

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Peterson (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: The Redskins have limited Peterson's reps or held him out entirely for Wednesday practices the last several weeks, only for him to avoid an injury designation heading into gamedays. He seems destined to follow the same path in Week 11, as his full participation in Thursday's session clears up any lingering concern about his ability to play through the shoulder issue. Peterson will face a matchup Sunday against a Texans defense that has surrendered 92.9 yards per game this season, the sixth-best…read more

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Peterson (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Despite the continued cap on his practice reps, Peterson said he's "feeling good" as the Redskins embark on their final seven games of the season. "My shoulder, I'm back to bench pressing," he noted. "I hadn't done that in three weeks...As I stand in front of you guys, my body is feeling amazing." On a per-game basis, Peterson is averaging 18.8 touches for 93.3 yards from scrimmage while scoring five touchdowns in nine contests. With little competition for reps due to Chris Thompson's bout with…read more

  • Tallies 69 yards in win

    Peterson rushed for 68 yards on 19 carries and added one yard on two catches during Sunday's 16-3 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Could the veteran back be losing steam with just over three yards per carry in his last two games? Possibly, but not likely: Peterson actually had his best carry of the game early in the fourth quarter, breaking through to the outside for an 18-yard pickup. Peterson has had some dismal games this season, including Week 9's 33-yard performance against the Falcons, but the 11th-year back has still topped 95 total yards in five of nine outings this season, including three straight from Weeks 6…read more

  • Logs full practice session

    Peterson (shoulder) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Peterson dislocated his shoulder in the Redskins' Oct. 8 loss to the Saints, but it hasn't prevented him from suiting up in the last four games, during which he's averaged 4.8 yards per carry on 76 totes. While Peterson's full participation in the Redskins' second practice of the week suggests his health is improving, the running back's fantasy prospects have nonetheless taken a hit after both of Washington's starting guards, Shawn Lauvao (knee) and Brandon Scherff (pectoral), suffered…read more

  • Takes part in Wednesday practice

    Peterson (shoulder) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: It's interesting to see Peterson participate in any capacity given that coach Jay Gruden said the 33-year-old would be rested on Wednesdays for the rest of the season. The team may have wanted Peterson out on the field to help deal with the chaotic adjustments to an injury-marred offensive line. Already missing left tackle Trent Williams (thumb) for at least the next two weeks, Washington lost both starting guards to season-ending injuries during a Week 9 blowout loss to the Falcons. His…read more

  • Stuck behind injury-marred line

    Peterson will spend the rest of the year running behind an offensive line that just lost starting guards Brandon Scherff (pectoral) and Shawn Lauvao (knee) to season-ending injuries, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: As if that weren't bad enough, stud left tackle Trent Williams is recovering from a thumb injury that's expected to hold him out for the next two or three games. A soft Week 10 matchup against the Buccaneers may soften the blow, but it's nonetheless difficult to see how Washington can consistently open holes while starting so many reserves on the offensive line. The injuries are particularly noteworthy because Scherff and Williams are two of the league's best at their respective positions. It…read more

  • Bottled up in loss

    Peterson ran for 17 yards on nine carries and added 16 yards on three catches during Sunday's 38-14 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: The outing snapped a three-game streak in which Peterson tallied at least 95 yards per game. The veteran back has had some monster games in D.C. this season but has been held to under two yards per carry in three of five games. Next up is a Tampa Bay defense that has been peppered in the passing game but is holding opponents to a respectable 4.2 yards per carry.

  • Cleared for Week 9

    Peterson (shoulder) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: There was never any concern about Peterson's availability, as the team has merely been cautious about limiting the 33-year-old's practice reps in recent weeks to keep him fresh for gamedays. Peterson could get a few extra snaps against a soft Atlanta defense in the absence of Chris Thompson (ribs) this week.

  • Limited Thursday

    Peterson (shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Peterson is following a similar path to last week, when he opened with a DNP on Wednesday only to be cleared on the final injury report. Assuming the same occurs this week, he may be working without Chris Thompson (ribs) for a third time in four games. When Thompson was held out Weeks 6 and 7, Peterson combined for 42 touches for 204 yards from scrimmage, but an end-zone visit eluded him.
