The Minnesota Vikings reversed course early Wednesday morning and have placed star running back Adrian Peterson on the exempt-commissioner's permission list, a move that will require him to stay away from the team while he addresses child abuse charges.
The Minnesota Vikings decided yesterday to activate Adrian Peterson for this weekend's upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints. The decision has cost the Vikings sponsorships and charity appearances.
It was the regular season home opener today at the temporary home of the Minnesota Vikings, TCF Bank Stadium, and despite the controversy, plenty of Vikings fans were wearing their #28 jerseys and supporting Adrian Peterson.
