On Wednesday, Peterson learned that his tentative trial date would be at the earliest on Dec. 1, too late to play in the NFL again in 2014. A potential arrest if he did indeed fail a drug test could be delayed, though. There is a recusal hearing for the current judge on Friday. That could also mean a later trial date, as well.
Peterson faces charges of reckless or negligent injury toward his 4-year-old son. He was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list, which means he is serving an indefinite paid leave from the Minnesota Vikings.
