Adrian Peterson to sit out Saints' preseason game vs. Browns on Thursday
 

The New Orleans Saints are eager to see how running back Adrian Peterson looks in game action, but the team and droves of curious fans reportedly won't find out Thursday.

Peterson will not play in the preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns.

Keep them guessing. I'm down. Hope same goes for Brees

Fine by me. Let's see what we have in Lasco, Edmunds and Victor.

I hope Brees sits this one out as well.

Grayson & Nassib need all of the reps they can get.

Good move. Pointless having him in there right now. We need to evaluate this backfield and thin this crew out.

We need to evaluate our back ups and don't need a third string player from another team trying to make a name for himself taking a cheap shot at a star player.
