Many nfl sponsors have begun expressing concerns about the peterson situation. And the vikings were feeling that heat. So after changing their minds twice about their star running back, theyve now decided that Adrian Peterson will remain off the field while the Legal Process plays out. Adrian peterson is off the field again. The Minnesota Vikings issued a statement early this morning, saying the team has been in conversations with nfl over the case for the past two days and the league informs the team of the option to place adrian on the exempt commissioners list which will require that adrian remain away from all Team Activities while allowing him to take care of his personal situation until the Legal Proceedings are resolved. Peterson has been charged with a felony for allegedly whipping his 4yearold son with a tree branch. On friday, the vikings benched him. But the team reversed that decision on monday saying they would allow him to play while the Legal Process unfolded. Public pressure on the club continued to mount.

When contacted by cbs this morning, other sponsors such as fedex, bridgestone, pepsi, mcdonalds and visa indicated they were concerned by the situation and monitoring it closely. In an interview with the nfl today host james brown, the head of the nfl players association, demori smith, said pro football is no longer just about a players performance on the field. If we do want to get this right, we will have to engage in a larger conversation then just a football player. And to have a conversation about what it means to be the husband, the son, the father the person in your community. Now, petersons First Court Appearance is october 8th. According to the associated press, his agent says placing him on the exempt list what quote, the best possible outcome, given the circumstances. All right, dean thank you. Some schools are closed this morning in northeast pennsylvania where the hunt for a gunman who killed a state trooper is narrowing. Police say the suspect, eric matthew frien, is armed and dangerous. They call him a survivalist with antigovernment views. Don dahler is in lords valley pennsylvania, the staging area for the man hunt. This is the terrain, heavily wooded, sparsely populated. Frien is suspected of shooting one officer and and fatally shooting an officer last week. Police say he became a suspect when they found his jeep stuck in the mud near where the shootings occurred. Hundreds have been combing the northeastern pennsylvania forest in search of a suspected killer. This fella is extremely dangerous. We have no idea where he is in the community. Investigators say 31yearold eric matthew frien has survivalist training and a history of antiLaw Enforcement views. He has made statements about wanting to kill Law Enforcement officers and also to commit mass acts of murder. Frien is believed to be armed with an ak47 and 308 semiautomatic rifle. Police found a stash of supplies he apparently left behind. Cam flannelouflage face paint, hooded sweatshirts, military gear. Officials say fie erien gunned them down during a shift change at a barracks outside scranton. The suspect had been living in his parents house where investigators found casings matching those from the shooting. And in his room a manual titled, Sniper Training and enforcement. His father told police his son is a trained shooter who, quote, doesnt miss. He has a very strong feelings about Law Enforcement. Seems to be very angry with a lot of things that are going on in our society. Frien evidently made statements of that nature many times over the years but no one ever reported it. He faces several charges, including first degree murder and homicide of a Law Enforcement officer. Charlie. Don thanks. President obama visited the pentagon Central Command in tampa to discuss his plan to destroy isis. A poll out this morning shows 57 of americans do not think the president is being tough enough with isis. 41 approve of the way he is handling terrorism. That is a new low for this poll. In may of 2011 after Osama Bin Laden was killed 72 approved of the president s handling of terrorism. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill where military leaders say the isis strategy may need to expand beyond air strikes. Nancy, good morning. Good morning. The president s stated policy has been no u. S. Troops on the ground period. And yet here on capitol hill his top military adviser says he doesnt want to rule it out. In a Senate Hearing tuesday, joint chiefs chairman Martin Dempsey said right off the bat u. S. Ground troops might be needed in the fight against isis. If there are threats to the United States, then i being would go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u. S. Military ground forces. For example, dempsey said american Forward Air Controllers on the ground in iraq could call in air strikes that would help eyeiraqi forces retake the city of mosul from isis fighters. It could very well be part of that particular mission to provide close combat advising or accompanying for that mission. The white house called that a hypothetical scenario and said the president s position hasnt changed. The house will vote today on authorizing the president to arm and train moderate Syrian Rebels to go after isis on the ground. There are only bad choices left in syria and iraq. The measure is expected to pass but even though who plan to vote yes worry that the u. S. Will be arming rebels who could at some point turn against us. Despite reservations and question we must take action. The threat is real and isis must be confronted now. Opponents of the plan many of them democrats, liken the rebel groups to the mujahadin in afghanistan who the u. S. Armed in the 1980s, only to watch them morph into the taliban. Make no mistake about it we have given arms to every element in this conflict with the notion that somehow the enemy of our enemy is our friend. And at the end of the day, we have no friends in this conflict. Democratic leader nancy pelosi spent the day privately addressing some of those democratic concerns. And secretary of state john kerry will likely try to do so publicly when he testified before a Senate Committee at 11 30 app pacific time today. All right, nancy, thank you. Former defense secretary robert gates says the president will have to use u. S. Ground troops to successfully defeat isis. In his first interview about the terror group gates told correspondent anna warner that he has some concerns about the president s strategy. The reality is theyre not going to be able to be successful against isis strictly from the air or strictly depending on the iraqi forces of the peshmerga or the sunni tribes acting on their own. So there will be boots on the ground if theres to be any hope of success in the strategy. And i think that by continuing to repeat that the president in effect traps himself. Im also concerned that the goal has been stated as degrade and destroy. Or degrade and defeat isis. Weve been at war with al qaeda for 13 years. We have dealt them some terrible blows. Including the killing of Osama Bin Laden. I dont thing anybody would say after 13 years weve destroy order defeated al qaeda. And so i think to promise that were going to destroy isis or isil sets a goal that may be unattainable. As opposed to devastating it. Or as the Vice President would put it following them to the gates of hell. And dealing them terrible blows that prevent them from holding territory. Those are probably realistic goals. And were going to hear more from secretary gates in our next hour. He and the ceo of uber talk about a joint venture to help 50,000 veterans. Ahead on cbs this morning. A new york state man is accused of trying to recruit fighters for isis. Bob orr is in washington where he says the man also tried to recruit in the United States. This is the case of an american who prosecutors say wanted to help isis. Barak has been indicted for attempting to aid the terror group. According to court paper, elfgeeh attempted to recruit. He in all faces seven criminal charges. Three counts of attempting to provide support to a Foreign Terrorist Organization and one count of attempting to kill officers and employees of the u. S. Government. The monitoring him in 2013. This may he was allegedly arrested for purchasing firearms. Prosecutors say he was planning to kill u. S. Service mens. But the guns he bought had been rendered inoperable by the fbi. The fbi continues its effort across the country to stop the flow of american fighters to syria. Elfgeeh will be arraigned on thursday.
