Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is still in denial about his season likely being over and his future in the NFL in doubt because of child abuse charges, ESPN reported.

Even if Peterson reaches a plea deal with prosecutors in Texas, the league’s discipline will probably prevent him from playing for the rest of the year, according to the report.

Peterson tweeted Friday that he passed a lie detector test, which sources said proves that the star running back “really doesn’t get it.”

The Vikings reportedly do not see Peterson being part of their future after attempting to activate him last Monday before placing him on the commissioner’s exempt list two days later.

Peterson can still be paid the rest of his $11.75 million salary for this season since he is on the exempt list. However, the Vikings have not said whether they will activate him at some point this season.

Peterson faces a child abuse charge in Texas for using a wooden branch in May to spank his 4-year-old son. He has said that he did not intend to cause the injuries the boy sustained, only to discipline him.

Commissioner Roger Goodell said Friday that child abuse is included as a violation that the NFL will harshly punish.
