Eden Prairie, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - The Minnesota Vikings returned from their bye to begin preparations for Sundays game against Chicago and said Monday they will await the leagues review on the status of running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson has been on the commissioners reserve/exempt list since September after being indicted on felony charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child in his native Texas, and will remain off the Vikings active roster until the NFL completes an investigation under the leagues personal conduct policy. In regards to Adrian Petersons status with the Minnesota Vikings, at this time his potential reinstatement is under NFL guidelines, the team said in a statement Monday. As an organization, we respect and understand the leagues process. In the interim, our focus is on the team and preparing for this weekends game against the Bears. The 2012 NFL MVP avoided jail time by reaching a plea agreement with Montgomery County (Texas) prosecutors last Tuesday. According to multiple reports, Peterson pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of one count of misdemeanor reckless assault and will receive probation along with a $4,000 fine and an order to serve 80 hours of community service. Peterson was accused of using a wooden tree branch to hit his 4-year-old son as a disciplinary measure, resulting in visible injuries to the child. He and his attorneys had lobbied commissioner Roger Goodell for immediate reinstatement following his plea deal, but the request was denied. Instead, Peterson could face an additional suspension if found to have been in violation of the personal conduct policy. The NFL Players Association issued a statement on the matter last Thursday evening, with the union threatening to take legal action if further punishment is issued. Peterson has not played since Minnesotas season opener on Sept. 7. The All- Pro back was briefly reinstated by the Vikings after being deactivated for the teams Week 2 game against New England, but the club quickly reversed course and placed him on the exempt list after a wave of negative backlash from sponsors, fans and Minnesota governor Mark Dayton. The two-time league rushing champion also admitted to a court staffer that he had used marijuana prior to taking a drug test after his initial hearing back in October, which could factor into whether Goodell imposes any further discipline.
