Adrian Peterson has been back with the Minnesota Vikings for nearly a month now and facing life after suspension.

He’s participated in practices, including the three-day minicamp that wrapped up on Thursday.

But Peterson says his life has not returned to normal since he was charged with child abuse last September. Peterson missed most of last season while addressing the accusation and tangling with the NFL over his punishment. He pleaded no contest to resolve the case.

The Vikings broke minicamp on Thursday and will have about five weeks off before starting training camp toward the end of July.

Peterson says he will return home to Houston to continue his workouts and ramp up for the season.
