Peterson misses practice for Vikings
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson missed practice Wednesday as he continues to recover from a high ankle sprain.
Quarterback Christian Ponder also sat out with a hip injury.
Head coach Leslie Frazier said Ponder was improving, but the team was moving cautiously about getting him back on the field.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"We're going to wait till tomorrow to see where he is," the coach said. "Probably the same thing with Adrian."
Peterson has missed two straight games for the last-place Vikings since being hurt during the first quarter of a November 20 loss to Oakland.
Minnesota, which has lost four games in a row to fall to 2-10, will play at Detroit on Sunday.
