Yesterday we gave you the MOST SHOCKING NFL headlines and now another one bites the dust, since Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson Indicted!

Apparently we should have waited on our MOST SHOCKING NFL headlines now that Adrian Peterson is back in the news, but this time is has to do with child abuse.

Peterson made headline last year when the son he never met was killed by his ex-girlfriend’s boyfriend. But now it appears the NFL player may have another scandal involving a child on his hands.

Now CelebNMusic247.com and learned that the Vikings Runing Back is apparently in big big trouble since he has been indicted in Montgomery County, Texas for reckless or negligent injury to a child, according to The Viking Age.

Rusty Hardin, Peterson’s lawyer, is in full no comment mode right now.

Peterson missed practice on Thursday and according to coach Mike Zimmer he was given a day off because of his veteran status. But it appears now that may have not been entirely the truth.

UPDATE: Adrian’s attorney Rusty Hardin has issued a statement regarding the indictment, and Hardin claims Adrian was indicted because he hit his son with a switch.

While ESPN is reporting that Peterson’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, issued a statement Friday saying his client’s conduct “involves using a switch to spank his son.”

According to a report by Sports Radio 610 in Houston, Peterson removed the leaves of a tree branch, which he referred to in a police report as “a switch,” to strike the child.

“This indictment follows Adrian’s full cooperation with authorities who have been looking into this matter. Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son,” Hardin said in his statement. “He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in east Texas. Adrian has never hidden from what happened.”

The Vikings have deactivated Peterson from this Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
