Report: Titans signing Adrian Peterson

The Titans are signing Adrian Peterson according to Ian Rapoport. He mentions that Peterson will be signed to the practice squad initially but will join the 53-man roster. My guess is that Peterson will get a good number of carries on Sunday night against the Rams.

I have come around a little bit on Peterson since this morning. They obviously aren’t going to lean on him like they did on Derrick Henry. He can be a first and second down guy that can hopefully keep them ahead of the chains. He is going to get 20 carries a game. Can he carry the ball 12-18 times per game and average close to 4.5 yards per carry? That should be plenty for the offense to score points.

Jeremy McNichols should continue to play a similar role as the 3rd down back. He might get sprinkled in for 5-7 carries per game without Henry.
