Former Oklahoma star Adrian Peterson says he won't discuss his financial woes

Former Oklahoma star Adrian Peterson says he won't be discussing financial woes that came to light over the summer.

The Washington Redskins running back conducted his first interview of training camp Tuesday and declined to answer a question about pending legal action against him. Peterson was sued last month over failure to fully repay a $5.2 million loan and was ordered to pay $2.45 million to another creditor.

“I won't be addressing none of that,” Peterson said.

Lawyer Chase Carlson said in a statement last month that “the truth behind Adrian Peterson's current financial situation is more than is being reported at this time.”

“This is yet another situation of an athlete trusting the wrong people and being taken advantage of by those he trusted,” Carlson said. “Adrian and his family look forward to sharing further details when appropriate.”

The 34- year- old Peterson is entering the first season of a $5.03 million, two-year contract to stay with the Redskins after joining them a year ago.

Brown returns to Raiders after absence for feet, helmet

Antonio Brown returned to the Oakland Raiders training camp facility Tuesday after missing roughly one week to see a specialist for his frostbitten feet and losing a grievance with the NFL over the use of a helmet.

Brown says he has been meeting with a foot specialist to get healthy from frostbite and blisters that came while getting cryotherapy treatment in France. Brown has also been fighting with the NFL over his helmet, which is no longer certified for practice or games.

Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, says they have found a new helmet and are waiting to get it certified for use.

Brown says he has no timeline for when he will be able to return to practice but coach Jon Gruden says he expects him to be ready to play the season opener Sept. 9 against Denver.

NFL teaming with Jay-Z on entertainment and social activism

The NFL and Jay-Z's entertainment and sports representation company are teaming up for events and social activism. The league not only will use Jay-Z's Roc Nation to consult on its entertainment presentations, including the Super Bowl halftime show, but will work with the rapper and entrepreneur's company to “strengthen community through music and the NFL's Inspire Change initiative.”

Inspire Change was created by the league after an agreement with a coalition of players who demonstrated during the national anthem to protest social and racial injustice in this country.

NFL owners agreed to contribute up to $89 million over six years toward causes players were supporting.
