The Vikings have been quiet since Peterson's plea agreement, stating only that they will speak about his situation "at the appropriate time."

He received what's essentially two years of probation,Jerseys From China, plus a $4,000 fine and requirement to complete parenting classes and 80 hours of community service.

Just how fast Peterson gets back to playing football is a complicated and potentially contentious matter.

Now that his legal matter is resolved, we believe it is Adrian's right to be treated in a manner that is consistent with similar cases under our collective bargaining agreement.
