The NFL said in a release; 'In a letter from Commissioner Roger Goodell, Peterson was informed that he is expected to fulfill his remaining obligations to the authorities in Minnesota and Texas, as well as the additional commitments Peterson made during his April 7 meeting with the commissioner regarding maintaining an ongoing program of counseling and treatment as recommended by medical advisors.' Peterson met with the NFL two weeks ago to discuss his reinstatement, and at that point things did not look good for the star running back. The Vikings claimed they wanted him back on the roster, and he was set to earn $12.75million for the upcoming season, but Peterson and his camp had taken issue with the team's chief operating officer, Kevin Warren.

They believed it was Warren who worked to keep Peterson off the field last year after he was indicted in September by a Texas grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child that occurred on May 18, 2014. And while Peterson has been rumored to want to leave, possibly for the Dallas Cowboys, he will have to finish out his contract first and play next season for the Vikings. Preseason workouts are set to begin early next week, though there is still no guarantee that Pterson will show up.
