Adrian Peterson恢復練習，預計下周出賽。
Vikings聲明：重視Peterson的權利。
BOSTON (CBS) — The Minnesota Vikings have reinstated Adrian Peterson, and
expect the running back to play in Week 3.
Peterson will participate in team practices and meetings this week, and will
likely get plenty of carries on Sunday when the Vikings take on the New
Orleans Saints.
The Pro Bowl running back was deactivated for Minnesota’s Week 2 loss to the
New England Patriots following his indictment on charges of reckless or
negligent injury to a child. Peterson is accused of hitting his four-year-old
son with a tree branch — or a “switch” — over the summer.
Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf issued the following statement on Monday:
Today’s decision was made after significant thought, discussion and
consideration. As evidenced by our decision to deactivate Adrian from
yesterday’s game, this is clearly a very important issue. On Friday, we felt
it was in the best interests of the organization to step back, evaluate the
situation, and not rush to judgment given the seriousness of this matter. At
that time, we made the decision that we felt was best for the Vikings and all
parties involved.
To be clear, we take very seriously any matter that involves the welfare of a
child. At this time, however, we believe this is a matter of due process and
we should allow the legal system to proceed so we can come to the most
effective conclusions and then determine the appropriate course of action.
This is a difficult path to navigate, and our focus is on doing the right
thing. Currently we believe we are at a juncture where the most appropriate
next step is to allow the judicial process to move forward.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and support Adrian’s
fulfillment of his legal responsibilities throughout this process.
