According to the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch, Vikings management will hold a conference call tonight to discuss what to do with Adrian Peterson in the short-term.

GM Rick Spielman said before today's game that "all options are on the table." Those would apparently include letting Peterson play, deactivating him for games until his legal situation becomes clearer, or suspending him with pay and keeping him away from the team.

Oh, and in case you were wondering:
