Judge rules in favor of Adrian Peterson Suspension overturned, eligible to be reinstated By: Mike Krueger | Feb 26 2015, 1:00 pm
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been reinstated after U.S. District Court Judge David Doty ruled Thursday in the NFL Players Association's lawsuit against the NFL on Peterson's behalf. As a result of the ruling, the Vikings might now be forced to make a decision on Peterson sooner rather than later. They can release or try to restructure his contract now, and also will be free to trade him once the league year begins March 10. (ESPN)
