Peterson and the NFL Players Association have filed a lawsuit against the NFL to reinstate him to the NFL and end his current suspension, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. The NFLPA will not push for a hearing to have Peterson play in Week 16 or Week 17, NBC Pro Football Talk reports.

Analysis:

No date has been set for a hearing on the case and the NFLPA didn't immediately file a motion for a preliminary injunction. As a result, this case is almost certain to be heard after the current NFL season ends. The lawsuit will try to recoup some of Peterson's lost salary (six game checks) and have him reinstated before April 15 so he can better navigate the NFL offseason. Peterson may be a fantasy factor again in 2015 depending on this case, but he's done playing in 2014.
