Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told reporters Wednesday that he has "no idea" if the veteran running back will return after missing the past two games with a neck injury, per the team's official website.

Peterson won't require surgery, but needs more time to heal after tweaking his neck in a Week 12 victory over the Jaguars. In his absence, Kerwynn Williams has plowed for 170 yards off 36 carries and looked especially spry against the Rams two Sundays ago.
The 6-7 Cardinals rest at farthest reaches of the NFC playoff picture. Barring a handful of teams vanishing into a time-altering vortex, the end is near for Arizona.
Whether Peterson returns for another season, though, remains a mystery for the offseason.
