The Tennessee Titans made what was the first of what could be multiple moves at the running back position after Derrick Henry sustained a foot injury in Week 8 by signing future Hall of Famer, Adrian Peterson.
Peterson will be inked to the Titans’ practice squad initially, but the team plans to elevate him to the active roster in due time.
“It feels good to get back into football movement and to sign with a contender,” Peterson said. “We have big shoes to fill for Derrick Henry who I feel was the front runner for MVP, but I’m looking forward to contributing to the running back room and helping the Titans to win the division and to chase the ultimate goal of winning a championship.”
After news of the Peterson signing broke, Twitter was on fire to hear the 36-year-old was coming back. And, of course, there were those who cracked jokes about his age.
