MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP - The NFL has suspend Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson without pay for at least remainder of season.
The NFL suspended Peterson for violating the league's personal conduct policy in connection with the child abuse case involving his 4-year-old son. Peterson pleaded no contest on Nov. 4 to reckless assault of a child.
In a letter to Peterson, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, "The timing of your potential reinstatement will be based on the results of the counseling and treatment program set forth in this decision. Under this two-step approach, the precise length of the suspension will depend on your actions. We are prepared to put in place a program that can help you to succeed, but no program can succeed without your genuine and continuing engagement. You must commit yourself to your counseling and rehabilitative effort, properly care for your children, and have no further violations of law or league policy."
