NFLPA Calls For Adrian Peterson's Immediate Reinstatement

The NFLPA on Friday sent a letter to the NFL "calling for the immediate reinstatement" of Vikings RB Adrian Peterson "per the agreement the sides made" for him to go on the commissioner's exempt list in September, according to sources. The agreement "explicitly states that Peterson would be removed from the list upon resolution of his legal matter." Peterson last week "pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor." If the NFL "declines to comply with the agreement, the NFLPA can then file an expedited non-injury grievance to have Peterson reinstated immediately" (ESPN.com, 11/9).
