The NFL has suspended Adrian Peterson for the remainder of the 2014 season without pay.

The Minnesota Vikings running back will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15, 2015, for violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Peterson was indicted in September on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year.

The NFL Players Association has already released a statement, announcing that it will appeal Peterson's suspension because "the discipline imposed is inconsistent."
