By rule, a decision must come by Saturday, November 22. The source says a ruling likely will come within two days.

If so, it will give Peterson an opportunity to practice with the Vikings in advance of Sunday’s game against the Packers.

Meanwhile, the NFL has taken no action against Peterson under the personal conduct policy. Multiple reports indicated that the league would be suspending Peterson on Monday as punishment for his no-contest plea on misdemeanor assault charges in Texas. The league’s failure to act invites speculation that the parties could be engaged in discussions aimed at resolving Peterson’s status.

On the potential of Adrian Peterson being reinstated: Not really focusing on it. Don't really know the specifics of everything that's involved. We're planning for playing what we see on video. If something happens, we'll adjust.

I just don't see how he could not be suspended for 6 games. They made such a big deal out of it after the Ray Rice fiasco and he was paid while on the exempt list so it wasn't like he was suspended. I suppose they could agree to withhold his pay for the rest of the year and let him play for nothing and the end result would be the same but that's kind of wonky if you ask me.

Even so, it wouldn't change my prediction much. I think we will force Bilgewater into several mistakes.

Doesn't look like he's going to be useful at all in re-draft leagues though. Too bad. The guy is basically getting suspended a full season for something that should probably just be six games. Seems weird to me. Take all the checks you want from the guy, but let him play if he wants to. He's paid and/or is paying his dues. I don't think this should ruin his life. I truly don't think he was actually trying to seriously hurt his kid. He got out of hand trying to discipline him and needed to pay the consequences. He is doing that with some fines and community service. Let him try to rebuild his life after dealing with the proper punishment. If he slips up in another way again, then things should be much more harsh and a lot less forgiving.
