Arizona Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson missed Weeks 13 and 14 with a neck injury. When asked if he knew a timetable for Peterson’s return, head coach Bruce Arians shared this comment.
Cardinals’ HC Bruce Arians said he has “no idea” if RB Adrian Peterson will recover from his neck injury to play again this season. Doesn’t sound encouraging.

This news is truly not encouraging. Since his trade to the Cardinals after Week 4, Peterson has proved to be a good fit in Arians’ offense. To date, the seven-time Pro Bowler has tallied 514 total yards and two touchdowns.
In Peterson’s absence, running back Kerwynn Williams will continue to fill in. The Cardinals are currently in third place with a 6-7 record in the NFC West.
