The Minnesota Vikings announced today that star running back Adrian Peterson will practice with the team this week and "is expected to play" this coming Sunday in New Orleans.

Peterson was indicted Friday on child abuse charges in Texas for using a tree branch to beat his 4-year-old son. After turning himself in and posting bail on Saturday, the Vikings deactivated him for Sunday's game.

Reporter Master Tesfatsion covers the Minnesota Vikings for the Minneapolis StarTribune and joins Take Two for the latest on the story.
