Peterson to spend All Day on the bench

Washington RB ADRIAN PETERSON will reportedly be a healthy scratch in Week 1, as the Hogs turn their backfield over to DERRIUS GUICE a full year after they had intended to do so. The decision obviously started as a vote of confidence in Guice and his surgically repaired knee, but Peterson’s inability to contribute on special teams was apparently a clinching factor. NFL Network is also reporting that several veterans are unhappy with the unceremonious treatment Peterson is receiving after he did such a valiant job of filling in for Guice in 2018. With LT Trent Williams still mired in an ugly holdout, this is looking like one of the least harmonious locker rooms around the league.
