Adrian Peterson races Kevin Hart, and wins

MINNEAPOLIS -- Well, at least we can see Adrian Peterson is healthy.

The suspended Minnesota Vikings running back tweeted a picture of himself and his wife Ashley at comedian Kevin Hart's show in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday night. After the show, Hart challenged Peterson to a race in the middle of the street. The comedian -- who was named the MVP of the 2012 NBA Celebrity All-Star Game -- got an early lead on Peterson, but the running back pulled away at the end.

Peterson could be in Minneapolis on Friday, when U.S. District Court judge David Doty will hear the NFLPA's lawsuit against the NFL on his behalf. Peterson said in December he'd been working out through his time on the commissioner's exempt list and his suspension. It's tough to take much from a late-night race in street clothes -- other than a laugh or two -- but it'll pass as visual evidence that the running back is in good shape.
