The NFL has turned down Adrian Peterson’s request for immediate reinstatement and will review the entire case before making a decision on when he can return to the Minnesota Vikings.
According to both FOX Sports and ESPN, the NFL wants to take a long look at the entire Adrian Peterson situation before making a decision. The NFL is currently attempting to put an end to the Ray Rice saga so to take on both situations at the same time is not in their best interest.
Should You Pick Up Adrian Peterson After Reaching Plea Deal?
“The NFL isn't going to make any hasty decisions here. They will examine the court documents/police record in the case, convene experts, hold a hearing with Peterson and the NFLPA, consult with the Vikings and the union and then possibly apply the personal conduct policy. Considering Peterson has been suspended (with pay) since Week 1, it's only fair that the matter is resolved quickly. He's hoping to play in Week 11 now that all his legal matters are resolved.”
The Peterson situation is expected to be addressed soon after the Rice case it put to bed. Peterson has said he expects to play in the Vikings Week 11 matchup against the Chicago Bears, but there have been no reports to prove this is a realistic possibility.

The Vikings are on bye this week and will return for that Week 11 matchup. Minnesota is currently going with Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon in the backfield since Peterson’s absence.
