Report: Adrian Peterson indicted, charged with reckless or negligent injury to a child

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 12, 2014, 4:40 PM EDT

AP

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has reportedly been indicted in Houston.

Fox 26 in Houston reports that Peterson was indicted in Montgomery County for reckless or negligent injury to a child.

Peterson’s Houston-based lawyer, Rusty Hardin, declined to comment when contacted by FOX 26.

Peterson missed practice on Thursday and the Vikings did not explain why, although they did say he was not injured. Peterson was back at practice today, and Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that Peterson gave no indication anything was wrong and was laughing and joking at the team facility.

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports that Peterson will now have to turn himself in to Texas authorities, which makes his status for Sunday’s game against the Patriots unclear.

I tried to, but they were all gone except the league where Christine is my worst player.

His son called him a "poo poo head".

Daddy Peterson is an odd way to refer to your dad.

I was out with some buddies last night and the team new fantasy team names we were throwing around last night for Adrian Peterson owners were pretty raw.

 

I guarantee that Goodell will not go light on whatever suspension is decided here.

[Ragin Kajun]

There is no need for Goodell to get involved - the Vikes will release him outright tomorrow.

You really think so?

[Your Mom's Side Piece]

NFL is saying they will review his case under domestic violence rules and not personal conduct. So minimum suspension looks to be 6 games if/when they decide to suspend him

[Ragin Kajun]

You really think so?

Maybe not tomorrow, but I think it happens at some point this year.  Options under CBA are:

 

• Keep him on the roster as is
• He can remain at the facility for practices and meetings and then be deactivated on gamedays
• Vikings could opt to suspended Peterson with pay pending the outcome of more legal matters

[Westy]

I shocks me that Peterson would beat a 4-year-old to the point of leaving welts, considering that it was just last year one of his children was beaten to death by the mother's boyfriend.

We doomed RG3 too.

Hotdamn, Vikes are saying they will play Peterson this week.
