The Minnesota Vikings would like to give Adrian Peterson a more balanced workload this season.

The Vikings are also high on Jerick McKinnon, which could help preserve the legs of Peterson.

Peterson's carries may not decrease as much as his snaps.

“I think it’s more about snaps per game, because that’s what you have to watch in regard to the wear and tear,” Wilson said, via NFL Media. “How he’ll last for the season is the snaps per game, not the carries or attempts per game, because that comes with the territory. He’s going to get his amount of touches that he gets, it’s the other snaps and plays that will determine how successful he is at lasting during the season and being powerful, strong, aggressive and explosive.”
