Adrian Peterson Deactivated, Ordered to Keep Away From Team as Vikings Place Him on Exempt List
The Minnesota Vikings have placed star running back Adrian Peterson on the Exempt/Commissioner’s Permission list, essentially deactivating him, and ordered him to keep away from all team activities until the legal proceedings against him in a child injury case have been resolved.
The statement issued early Wednesday morning is a complete reversal from earlier in the week, when the team said Peterson would continue to practice with the team and play.
“After giving the situation additional thought, we have decided this is the appropriate course of action for the organization and for Adrian,” the statement signed by team owners Zygi and Mark Wilf said.
