Anyone expecting a major announcement was disappointed. "I do not intend this discuss this matter publicly," Martin said. "This is the right way to handle the situation." He then left.

Martin, the offensive tackle whose departure erupted into a bullying scandal that tainted pro football, was in New York. His first stop was a meeting with Ted Wells, an attorney chosen by the NFL to get to the bottom of what happened between the players and within the Dolphins organization.

He was expected to visit Dolphins owner Stephen Ross after his time at Wells' Manhattan office.

Martin didn't speak to media members en route to meet Wells. Martin's lawyer, David Cornwell, maintained that Martin endured a "malicious physical attack and "daily vulgar comments," the New York Daily News reported.

Incognito is suspended for his actions involving Martin, and he awaits the next move after Thursday's filing of a grievance against the Dolphins. The team banished him for conduct detrimental to the team.

In his defense, Incognito says his behavior was on par with actions in other teams' locker rooms. Teammates support his stand, but Martin says his linemate wasn't the only source of bullying.

The NFL wants Wells to gather details. Wells will make his findings known, although when is not immediately known.

Wells also will look at the actions of other Dolphins personnel, including coach Joe Philbin.

Martin, in his second NFL season, had been in California getting treatment and support since leaving the Dolphins. Incognito was in that state last weekend. Reports said Martin was being treated for post-traumatic stress syndrome.

Without their two starting offensive linemen and under a full spectrum of scrutiny the Dolphins last Nov. 7 to the Buccaneers. They play Sunday against the visiting Chargers.


PETERSON'S FUTURE


Until he is told to go, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson wants to stay with the only team he has known.

However, even a franchise stalwart knows the ways of sports business.

Peterson is working on a seven-year, $100 million contract he signed in 2011. But with the Vikings at 2-7 and facing a likely rebuilding program it's entirely possible he will be elsewhere. At 29 Peterson has a lot of mileage on his body and plays on a knee that needed a major rebuild two years ago.

Still, he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press he doesn't want to go anywhere else.

"I definitely wouldn't mind playing here," he said. "I feel like we have the right pieces and we can continue to get some more pieces as well to help build this team and make us even stronger."

Peterson is on pace for 1,400 rushing yards this season after falling jut shy of an NFL single-season record with 2,097 in 2012. That, despite an early return from knee surgery.

Speculation will continue, with observers believing the Vikings could garner a fistful of draft picks, including a plum or two, by trading Peterson.

The Vikings are on the road Sunday to face the Seahawks.


MEANWHILE, IN SEATTLE


Percy Harvin "has a chance" to play his first game of the season Sunday. Other than that, there's no guarantee the Seahawks will get their big offseason acquisition into action this weekend.

Harvin was among 14 Seahawks listed on probable on the team's injury list. He was a full participant in Friday's workouts, the Seattle Times reported, marking the second day he has been with coach Peter Carroll's team.

"He made it through practice [Friday]. We'll see how it affects him tomorrow and we'll call it, but he looks good," Carroll told the Times.

Harvin is recovering from Aug. 1 hip surgery. If he plays this week, his debut will be against his former team.


FALCONS RB ARRESTED


Atlanta Falcons running back Jason Snelling has been arrested on misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Winder Police Officer Chris Cooper says Snelling was arrested early Friday morning following a traffic stop. Cooper says officers pulled over Snelling's SUV after noticing it weaving and crossing the center line. Cooper says officers smelled marijuana inside the vehicle and determined Snelling did not have a valid driver's license or insurance.

The Falcons said in a statement the team was "aware of the situation concerning Jason Snelling and are in the process of gathering additional information." The team declined further comment, calling it an ongoing legal matter.

Cooper says Snelling was taken to the Barrow County Detention Center and released after posting bond.


PACKER'S REHAB


Tight end Jermichael Finley is recovering from spinal fusion surgery and making plans to begin a rehabilitation schedule of at least three months.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy announced the news of Finley's surgery at his Friday news conference.

If all goes well Finley has a chance to play again next season.

"While his return to professional football is a hot-topic conversation, his ability to live a long and fulfilling life with his loved ones is by far and away our main objective," according to a statement from Finley's agent, Blake Baratz.

Finley, 26, was injured in Oct. 20's 31-13 victory over the Browns. He is on injured reserve and has insisted he will play again. Thursday's surgery was in Pittsburgh.

Finley will become an unrestricted free agent at season's end. He had 25 catches for 300 yards and three touchdowns when he was injured.
