Adrian Peterson reportedly entered no-contest plea on misdemeanor reckless assault charges against him on Tuesday and the Minnesota Vikings running back will not serve any jail time.

According to ProFootballTalk, the plea doesn't include any reference to violence against a minor or family violence. Sources also added that Peterson will pay a fine of $2,000 and will be placed on probation and perform 80 hours of community service.

The plea agreement could also pave the way for his return to the Vikings roster, but it is still unclear at this point whether or not the National Football League (NFL) will suspend Peterson, who has missed Minnesota's last eight games after his child abuse case surfaced.

NFL spokesperson told ESPN that they are not yet ready to make a ruling until after reviewing court documents, but the NFL Players Association expects the league to suspend Peterson, similar to previous decisions against players found guilty of misdemeanor.

Peterson has only played in one game this season, but has been receiving full salary as he has been under the commissioner's exempt list since September. The NFL Players Association has supported the call for Peterson's reinstatement and asked the league to just require the 29-year-old to pay a substantial fine.

However, it is clear at this point whether or not the Vikings are planning to reinstate Peterson once the league allows him to return. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said in a news conference on Monday that the team is not yet thinking about the possible outcome of Peterson's case.

"Adrian has always been a top-notch and first-class player," Zimmer said of Peterson. "But I'm not going to speculate. When and if something happens, we'll talk about it then."

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman was also noncommittal when asked about Peterson's future in a press conference on Tuesday.

"All I'm going to say is basically at the appropriate time, and I know you guys can appreciate this, we'll keep all of our comments under the Adrian situation until it's appropriate to speak," Spielman said via ESPN. "And I'll just leave it at that."
