Adrian Peterson returned to the Vikings on Thursday a day after the funeral of his two year old son Tyrese Robert Ruffin . Peterson did not know that the boy was his son until two months ago. They were in the midst of working out financial issues when he received a call saying that his son was in the hospital. A man who was dating the mother of the boy at that time was charged with child abuse. Peterson flew down to see his son in the hospital. It was the first and last time that he saw him since he died a day later from his injuries.
Peterson attended the funeral on Wednesday and then flew back to Minnesota to be able to attend practice on Thursday. Peterson called the situation "devastating" saying that he is mourning a son that he never got a chance to know. Attending the funeral was very hard for him.
On Sunday Peterson played against Carolina Panthers and he is planning to play against the Giants this coming Monday night. He thanked the Vikings team for all of the support that he received.
