Speaking to reporters about an hour after the time of death, Peterson said he was certain hell play Sunday against Carolina. He smiled politely and spoke softly while taking questions at his locker. "Ill be ready to roll, focused," Peterson said. "I will be playing Sunday, without a doubt." Peterson is second in the NFL with 421 yards rushing and first in the league with five touchdowns. He came back from reconstructive knee surgery to rush for 2,097 yards and win the league MVP award last season. "Football is something I will always fall back on," Peterson said. "It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, thats what I need in my life, guys supporting me. ... Things that I go through, Ive said a thousand times, it helps me play this game to a different level. Im able to kind of release a lot of my stress through this sport, so thats what I plan on doing." Later Friday, after news of the boys death spread, Peterson thanked his family, fans and even fans of other NFL teams for their support. He tweeted: "The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players." Dozens of current and former professional athletes wished Peterson well on Twitter, expressing support, offering prayers and voicing disgust about the alleged abuse. "Sick for my friend. Strong guy but this one will bring the strongest down," tweeted NBA star LeBron James. The Panthers, this weeks opponent, were sympathetic. "Its absolutely terrible. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family, and hopefully things work out," coach Ron Rivera said. Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said he thought Peterson practiced as well as he could Friday considering the circumstance. "He seems like he was into it, engaged in what he had to get done," Frazier said. "Obviously, tough. Hes human. But he was into it mentally, best as he could be." Fellow running back Toby Gerhart said: "Its hard for any man to admit that hes hurting or he needs help or anything like that. For us to be around him and tell him weve got his back, if theres anything he needs that were there for him, I think that goes a long way." Danilo Gallinari Thunder Jersey .
