The NFL rejected an attempt by representatives for Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson to have him immediately reinstated after his plea agreement this week and refused to discuss any settlement over his playing status.
On Tuesday, Peterson pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault and was ordered to pay a $4,000 fine and perform 80 hours of community service. He originally faced felony charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child after being accused of hitting his 4-year-old son with a switch.
Fox Sports’ Mike Garofolo’s sources said that the NFL would make a decision on Peterson’s status soon and he would be informed when that happens.
