Adrian Peterson is expected to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 2 just two days after the passing of his two-year-old son.

"There's no doubt he's going to play," a source said. "It's not going to happen where Adrian Peterson is not going to suit up for that game."

Peterson's son died from injuries sustained during an alleged aggravated assault.

Joseph Patterson, 27, was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery in the child's death.
