Prosecutors in Texas filed paperwork on Thursday to have Adrian Peterson arrested for violating conditions of his bond after he admitted to a drug tester that he had recently used marijuana. According to the report, Peterson told the worker that he had "smoked a little weed" before taking a urinalysis test on Wednesday. Peterson has been free on a $15,000 bond for felony child abuse charges and not taking illegal drugs is typically a requirement for being out on bond. Peterson's trial is tentatively scheduled to begin on December 1st. (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact:

This most recent development in the Adrian Peterson saga makes it even more unlikely that the former All-Pro returns to the field in 2014. Even if Peterson's attorneys are able to convince a jury to find him not guilty of child abuse charges, the Vikings would still need to be willing to actually put him back on the field. And with the flurry of negative stories continuing to emerge about Peterson's past (and current) behavior, public opinion in Minnesota has certainly turned against the former face of the franchise.
