The father of suspended running back Adrian Peterson on Monday denied a CBSSports.com story that Peterson no longer wants to play for the Vikings.

The story said Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, got into a heated argument last week at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis with Vikings vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski and made it clear that Peterson wouldn’t play again with the Vikings. The story also quoted a source as saying, “He will never play another game for the Vikings. It’s over.’’

“He is open to returning to the Vikings,’’ Nelson Peterson said in a phone interview with the Pioneer Press. “He hasn’t closed the door on saying, ‘I won’t play for the Vikings.’ He hasn’t demanded a trade.’’
