Vikings RB Adrian Peterson indicted on child abuse

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has found himself in legal trouble that may cost him both on and off the field.
Peterson has been indicted in Texas on charges of child abuse after using a tree branch to spank his son. Vikings responded swiftly to the charges by deactivating the star rusher for this Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Peterson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, said Friday that the charge in Montgomery County accuses Peterson of using a branch, or switch, to spank one of his sons, but that the young athlete meant no harm and was cooperating with authorities.

The NFL didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Peterson's situation.
