The Vikings and Peterson agreed to a one-year contract Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Peterson announced the news on his "All Things Covered" podcast, confirming that he'll return to Minnesota for a second consecutive year. In his first season with the Vikings, he missed four games due to a hamstring injury and a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he still produced when on the field, recording 45 tackles, five pass breakups and a pick-six in 13 contests. Peterson will slot in as a starting cornerback opposite Cameron Dantzler in 2022.

The Vikings activated Peterson (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday. Peterson missed Week 13's divisional loss to the Lions as a result of his placement on the COVID list. However, the veteran should be available to handle his usual every-down role during Thursday's matchup against the Steelers.

Peterson (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Peterson is vaccinated, which indicates the cornerback tested positive for the virus. The veteran cornerback will need to produce two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart and remain asymptomatic for 48 hours before being reinstated to the active roster.
-
Peterson (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve by the Vikings on Saturday. Peterson returned to the practice field Wednesday, and he'll be back in game action Sunday against the Packers following a three-game absence. Across his first six appearances of the season, the 31-year-old logged 13 tackles (eight solo) and two pass defenses.
-
Peterson (hamstring) has been designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. With the move, Peterson will have 21 days to be added to the active roster. The veteran cornerback has been on injured reserve since mid-October, but he has been designated to return at the earliest possible time, which is a good sign for Minnesota's secondary, who has a date with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams on Sunday. It's unclear if he will be available for Week 11, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.
