The Minnesota Vikings received a shock when it was announced that Adrian Peterson is being indicted on child abuse charges, which allegedly involved him spanking his four-year-old son with a switch to discipline him.
Peterson has reportedly admitted to doing all of this too, and the mother of his child equated the boy’s injuries to child abuse in their visit to the doctor.
Due to this uproarious incident, the Vikings have decided to deactivate Peterson for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
Here is a tweet from NFL Network national reporter Albert Breer announcing this decision by the Vikings.
