Tops 100 total yards in Lions debut Peterson had 14 carries for 93 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago. He caught three of three targets for 21 receiving yards
Impact Kerryon Johnson got the start and D'Andre Swift led the backfield in snaps, but Peterson was nonetheless given the most carries. His 12 attempts were more than Johnson (seven) and Swift (five) combined. Considering he clearly looked like Detroit's best downhill rusher in the process, Peterson can reasonably be expected to maintain a majority share of the early-down work going forward. However, given the injuries to the Lions secondary, it's fair to wonder how long the Lions might be able to stick with the run game in Week 2 against Green Bay.

Could contribute Week 1 Coach Matt Patricia said "we'll see" when asked Monday whether Peterson would suit up for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Bears, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Patricia is at least leaving the door open for Peterson, who signed a contract with the Lions on Monday after having been released by Washington, to see playing time out of the gate. The 35-year-old is coming off back-to-back seasons with 200-plus touches and over 4.0 yards per carry in Washington. He now mixes into a relatively inexperienced backfield alongside Kerryon Johnson, who has missed 14 games over the last two seasons, and rookie D'Andre Swift (undisclosed). Peterson also reunites with offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, whom he played under during the first four years of his career with the Vikings.
