The Seahawks are wasting no time getting Adrian Peterson involved, elevating him from the practice squad for Sunday’s game against the 49ers, per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

The 36-year-old running back was signed to Seattle’s practice squad on Wednesday. Peterson played in three games with the Titans this season but never got into a rhythm. He was released on Nov. 23 after rushing for 82 yards on 27 carries and one touchdown.

“I’m excited to see if he helps out and give us a little something,” Carroll said on Wednesday. “He’s a player that I know I’ve known forever, way back to his high school days, and I admired him tremendously over the years. Always disappointed we didn’t get him back in the day, but like I just told him, we finally got him.

“So I’m looking forward to seeing how he does and see where he can fit it. He’s an incredible competitor and a great guy, so I’m anxious to give him a chance to get on the field with our boys.”
