The U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed a district court's ruling that had overturned Adrian Peterson's suspension and fine resulting when the Minnesota Vikings running back pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge after injuring his son meting out corporal punishment.
While Peterson now is liable for the fine, the appeal "does not involve his eligibility to play." So Peterson remains with the Vikings in camp as they ready for their Sept. 11 season-opener against the Tennessee Titans.
Commissioner Roger Goodell had imposed an indefinite suspension and a fine equivalent to six games' pay in November 2014.
