Adrian Peterson’s NFL suspension has been lifted.
The Minnesota Vikings running back will be eligible for reinstatement after US District Court Judge David Doty
overturned his league-issued ban on Thursday. The NFL is expected to appeal the ruling,
according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
“
This is a victory for the rule of law, due process and fairness,” NFL Players Association Executive Director DeMaurice Smith
said in a statement. “Our collective bargaining agreement has rules for implementation of the personal conduct policy and when those rules are violated, our union always stands up to protect our players’ rights. This is yet another example why neutral arbitration is good for our players, good for the owners and good for our game.”
