Making debut with Seattle Peterson is listed as active Sunday against the 49ers.
Impact Peterson joined the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday and was elevated to the active roster Saturday. The move may have been premeditated with Alex Collins tending to a nagging abdominal injury, which surprisingly will keep him on the sideline in Week 13. Earlier Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Peterson would serve as Seattle's lead runner in this contest, with Rashaad Penny (hamstring), DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer (calf) also available to the backfield. In three appearances for the Titans this season, Peterson managed 27 carries for 82 yards and one touchdown and caught all four targets for eight yards.

Likely to lead backfield in debut The Seahawks plan to have Peterson pick up "the bulk of the carries" Sunday against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Though he first joined the organization Wednesday and wasn't elevated from the practice squad until Saturday, Peterson reportedly impressed in his initial workouts with the team and will get an extended look as Seattle aims to find a solution for its struggling ground attack. Alex Collins has served as the Seahawks' primary ball carrier since Chris Carson (neck) suffered a season-ending injury Week 4, but he's averaging a pedestrian 3.9 yards per carry and has just one gain of 20-plus yards across 101 totes. Collins is also listed as questionable for Sunday's game with an abdominal injury and may be at risk of sitting out, as could Rashaad Penny (hamstring), who is averaging only 2.5 yards per carry across the four games he's played this season. Even if both Collins and Penny suit up, Peterson looks like he'll be ahead of them in the pecking order for carries, while either Travis Homer (calf) or DeeJay Dallas serves as Seattle's main pass-catching back. Considering that Peterson was similarly inefficient (3.0 YPC on 27 totes) over his three-game stint with the Titans earlier this season and doesn't offer much of a threat as a receiver, he likely won't be a reliable fantasy option this week even if he leads the Seattle backfield in carries.

Seahawks elevate Adrian Peterson from practice squad
The Seattle Seahawks have elevated veteran running back Adrian Peterson from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ersDECEMBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Elevated to active roster Peterson was elevated to the Seahawks' active roster Saturday.
Impact The Seahawks wasted no time getting the 36-year-old on the active roster after signing him to the practice squad earlier this week. Peterson averaged 3.0 yards per carry across his three games with the Titans this season, so it's hard to really envision a positive fantasy scenario considering his small role in a jumbled running back committee, not to mention an overall inefficient offense as of late.

Impact The Seahawks will have until Saturday at 4 p.m. ET -- the deadline for Week 13 roster moves -- to decide whether to activate Peterson or keep him on the practice squad. Carroll suggested that a decision on Peterson -- who signed with the organization Wednesday -- will likely hinge on the potential availability of fellow running backs Alex Collins (abdomen), Rashaad Penny (hamstring) and Travis Homer (calf), all of whom are listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. Penny and Homer look like good bets to suit up after concluding the week as full participants in practice, while Collins' status is murkier after he never advanced beyond limited participation.

Seahawks sign running back Adrian Peterson to practice squad
Desperate for depth at running back, the Seattle Seahawks signed 36-year-old Adrian Peterson to their practice squadDECEMBER 1, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Joining Seattle's practice squad Peterson was signed to the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Impact Peterson had a tryout with the Seahawks on Wednesday, and he apparently made enough of an impression to warrant a longer look on the practice squad. The 36-year-old appeared in three games for the Titans and had 27 carries for 82 yards with four catches for eight yards and one total touchdown before being cut last week. Seattle has been looking for answers in the backfield with Chris Carson (neck) out for the season, and Alex Collins has been handling the early-down work with minimal success (3.9 YPC).

Visiting with Seahawks Peterson is visiting with the Seahawks on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact It didn't work out for Peterson in Tennessee, but he could land on his feet in short order with one of the other NFL franchises that has an obvious need for backfield help. But even if he signs with the Seahawks and eventually takes the lead role, his snaps and carries won't necessarily lead to significant fantasy production given the putrid state of the team's offense. Passing-down backs Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas have seen more snaps than supposed lead runner Alex Collins in recent weeks, with the Seahawks struggling to run (or pass) the ball and often chasing deficits. The 36-year-old version of Peterson might be an upgrade, but probably not enough so to rescue Seattle's rushing game.

Gets nine carries Peterson rushed the ball nine times for 40 yards in Sunday's 22-13 loss to the Texans. He added two receptions for four yards.
Impact Peterson led the Titans' backfield with nine carries, though Dontrell Hilliard and D'Onta Foreman each earned seven opportunities on the ground. His most effective work came on a drive late in the first quarter during which he ripped off gains of 16, 12, five and four yards. Though Peterson has shown flashes of effectiveness since joining the Titans in Week 9, he has a total of only 82 yards on 27 carries across three contests.
