"The Minnesota Vikings have reversed course on Adrian Peterson, putting him on the NFL's exempt/commissioner's permission list until his child-abuse case is resolved, which bars him from all team activities, the team said in a news release early Wednesday morning.

The Vikings placed Adrian Peterson on the NFL's exempt/commissioner's permission list until his child-abuse case is resolved, which bars him from all team activities.

"After giving the situation additional thought, we have decided this is the appropriate course of action for the organization and for Adrian," Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf said in the statement. "We are always focused on trying to make the right decision as an organization.

"We embrace our role -- and the responsibilities that go with it -- as a leader in the community, as a business partner and as an organization that can build bridges with our fans and positively impact this great region. We appreciate and value the input we have received from our fans, our partners and the community."

Peterson was indicted last week in Montgomery County, Texas, on a felony count of reckless or negligent injury to a child. The charge stems from a whipping incident that reportedly left bruises and wounds on much of his 4-year-old son.

Peterson also was accused in 2013 in Texas of injuring another of his young sons, who has a different mother, although charges were never brought. Those allegations reportedly were filed to the state's Child Protective Services agency, according to Houston CBS affiliate KHOU.

Executives were at the team's Winter Park headquarters late into the night Tuesday, discussing how to respond to the avalanche of criticism of their Monday announcement."

I'd drive him to prison myself. That's where he belongs.

And I'd throw in a vasectomy gift certificate, too!

I agree, good one, lol!

Vikings !

good

It took a beer company and their money to make the NFL pay real attention.

I have never heard of this player (not into sports), until this incident. I wanted to know how this was found out, the alleged abuse? Did he take his ds to the hospital for injuries?

I imagine there are many other incidents and players that the NFL is keeping quiet about.

I read the boy had an already scheduled appt at his Dr. when he returned home to his Mother. The Dr reported it.
