According to pioneerpress.com, Peterson is allowed supervised visits with his son. He will go through parenting evaluations by social workers and a child psychologist.
Peterson and the NFL Players Association are fighting Goodell in federal court, arguing the commissioner is exceeding the limit of his authority under the collective bargaining agreement.
