NEW YORK (AP) – Adrian Peterson will meet with the NFL on Monday about possible reinstatement with the Minnesota Vikings.
A person with knowledge of the hearing told The Associated Press on Thursday that the hearing will be at 2 p.m. EST. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the hearing has not been announced.
Peterson has been on the commissioner’s exempt list since Sept. 18 following his indictment for felony child abuse in Texas. The running back pleaded no contest last week to a lesser charge of misdemeanor reckless assault, freeing him from the court system provided he fulfills his probation terms.
Also last week, the NFL players’ union demanded in a letter to the league that Peterson be allowed to rejoin the Vikings immediately until any discipline has been determined. But the NFL began a review of his case under the personal conduct policy, and said Peterson would remain on paid leave until the process is completed.
It also requested Peterson submit relevant information regarding his case and meet with designated experts who will make recommendations for discipline to Commissioner Roger Goodell.
