NFL: Adrian Peterson Suspended Without Pay For The Rest Of The Season

The NFL announced Tuesday morning that Adrian Peterson would be suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2014 season. The NFLPA announced plans to appeal the suspension and Peterson could seek other remedies. The union also added a surprising point, noting "an NFL executive told Adrian that his time on the commissioner's list would be considered as time served."

When Peterson was notified of his suspension, Roger Goodell issued a letter to the Vikings running back informing him how he'll be able to return to the league.
