Adrian Peterson has been reinstated by the Vikings.
I'm laughing because the whole world is crazy except for me.
The Minnesota Vikings are standing behind Adrian Peterson.
The team announced Monday that its star halfback will fully participate in meetings and practice this week and is expected to play Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
The Vikings had deactivated Peterson, 29, for their game against the New England Patriots yesterday, one day after the 2012 NFL MVP answered a warrant in Texas for his arrest on a charge of causing injury to his son by disciplining him with a tree branch.
"Today's decision was made after significant thought, discussion and consideration," owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf said in a joint statement issued by the team.
"As evidenced by our decision to deactivate Adrian from yesterday's game, this is clearly a very important issue. On Friday, we felt it was in the best interests of the organization to step back, evaluate the situation, and not rush to judgment given the seriousness of this matter. At that time, we made the decision that we felt was best for the Vikings and all parties involved.
