McNabb, 35, last seen the football field as a member of the Minnesota Vikings before asking for his release. He requested to be released in hopes of landing...

Updates. With AP Photos. By JON KRAWCZYNSKI AP Sports Writer Playing in the season opener has been at the forefront of Adrian Peterson's mind almost since he went down with a torn left ACL in the second-to-last game of the 2011 season.

With Adrian Peterson on the comeback trail, there is little question who is the Vikings’ biggest offensive playmaker. Percy Harvin showed just how productive he can be last year when Peterson was struggling with ankle and knee injuries, even if Harvin downplayed it.
