Peterson back, Asiata active for Vikes

Minnesota RB MATT ASIATA, listed as questionable with a late-week ankle injury, will be active today against Indianapolis -- but the real story for the Vikings, of course, is that ADRIAN PETERSON returns from IR this week. While we would ordinarily recommend caution in the case of a 31-year-old running back rehabbing a knee, it bears mentioning that (a) Peterson is bionic or something, and (b) the Vikings probably wouldn't be bringing him back at all if they didn't expect to lean on him in trying to win out down the stretch.
