Adrian Peterson's son dies: Child abuse likely cause of death

Adrian Peterson
According to an article on Yahoo News Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's 2 year-old son has died after sustaining injuries that placed the toddler in critical care before his death.

The injuries reported as "consistent with child abuse" are being investigated by authorities after the child was in the care of 27 year-old Joseph Patterson who is reportedly the boyfriend of the child's mother.  Patterson was arrested on aggravated assault and aggravated battery on an infant.

The state attorneys office is looking into the matter to see if additional charges are warranted according to a Star Tribune article.

Peterson, a long time advocate for children's causes, posted the following statement on his facebook page earlier today:

"Thank you to my family, my fans and fans of other teams for their support. The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players. God Bless everyone and thank u so much."
 Peterson thus far has stated he will play in Sunday's game.
