Commanders RB Adrian Peterson to be inactive vs. Eagles
The Commanders resurrected Adrian Peterson's career, then handed him a big new contract. And now, in his first game in 2019, he won't be on the field.
Sources say that Peterson is expected to be a surprise inactive as the Commanders play the Eagles today. After gaining 1,042 yards last year, averaging 4.2 yards per rush in a comeback season, Peterson is slated to be watching from the sidelines.
Second-year back Derrius Guice will be the starter, and coach Jay Gruden has been outspoken about how much of a focal point Guice will be.
"We feel like he can be a first, second and even a third down back," Gruden told reporters this week. "I think the offense, carries wise, will probably go through him, pretty much."
Peterson, 34, will be on the outside looking in. And it's anyone's guess how he'll respond to his fate.
