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.
