Running back Adrian Peterson should know his playing status by Nov. 22 based on the timeline mandated in the collective bargaining agreement for hearing grievances.

The NFL Players Association filed an expedited, non-injury grievance on behalf of Peterson, requesting removal from the Commissioner’s Exempt list. The official grievance was filed Monday, requiring a hearing within seven days and a ruling no more than five days later.

Peterson’s plea bargain on child abuse charges in Texas last week ended the legal process but the Minnesota Vikings said he will remain on the Commissioner-Exempt list while the league reviews the case under the personal conduct policy.

“In regards to Adrian Peterson’s status with the Minnesota Vikings, at this time his potential reinstatement is under NFL guidelines,” the Vikings said in a statement. “As an organization, we respect and understand the league’s process. In the interim, our focus is on the team and preparing for this weekend’s game against the Bears.”

The NFL rejected an attempt at immediate reinstatement by Peterson. The NFL said a review of facts and court documents would be required before Peterson’s fate is determined.

Peterson has not played for the Vikings since Week 1 but is being paid his full salary — $11.25 million for the 2014 season — while away from the team.

The NFLPA said Monday it would seek rapid resolution of the breach of contract.

“We asked the NFL to honor the terms of that agreement last week and as of now, they have failed to respond or comply,” said the NFLPA in a statement. “It is our obligation to protect all players’ rights, and we will pursue any and all breaches of any contract between a player and his team or the NFL.”

On Nov. 4 in Montgomery County, Texas, Peterson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge, was placed on probation and ordered to pay a $4,000 fine. The charge was reduced from felony child abuse for an incident in which Peterson admittedly used a tree branch to whip his 4-year-old son.
