Arizona Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson has been put on the injured reserve by the National Football League franchise. In turn, it has resulted in plenty of people openly wondering if this is the end of the veteran's career.
Luckily for those who hate season finale teasers, Adrian Peterson has clarified what his future looks like.
Peterson gave a statement to Josina Anderson of ESPN after learning he will not be returning to action after going for further medical opinions on his injured neck. Here it is:
“The good news is my neck injury doesn’t require surgery, but I’m told by Dr. Robert Watkins that the best thing for me is just more rest than the length of the season. Obviously, I’m disappointed about going on IR when my body is still able to produce but I look forward to returning completely healthy for another season in 2018. I’m grateful for the opportunity that the Arizona Cardinals have given me to show that I can still contribute on an NFL team.”
Peterson is technically under contract for another season with the Cardinals. It doesn't mean Arizona will definitely keep him, but even if they won't, it also doesn't mean the running back's career is over.
