According to multiple reports, an “in denial” Adrian Peterson will likely not suit up for the Minnesota Vikings again:
“The Vikings themselves do not foresee Peterson in their future team sources say.” - @mortreport just now.

Per @mortreport: AP doesn't get what he did/is in denial. Thinks he can still play this year. Vikings sources state AP probably done with MN

The NFL is going to come down hard on Peterson after his legal issues surrounding child abuse claims are resolved, as commissioner Roger Goodell will likely want to make an example of the Vikings’ star. Peterson didn't help himself with this bizarre tweet on Friday night:
!Note,I requested the Polygraph. Share that as well! May The Lord continue to Bless U All. #EPD#NoWeapon

Bragging about lie detector results is probably not a great look for Peterson, and certainly lends credence to the idea that the running back is fairly oblivious to how the public perceives him.
