Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has been indicted for child abuse. The 2012 MVP is facing charges of negligent injury to a child.
This would explain why the running back missed the Vikings’ Thursday practice, and they had said it was not because he is injured.
The story is still developing, but FOX 26 Houston first reported this shocking development. Peterson’s attorney chose not to comment when asked about this indictment.
Here is a tweet from Pro Football Talk confirming this story coming out.
