When it rains, it pours, and it’s thunder and lightning, and tumultuous rain in the NFL right now.

A grand jury has indicted Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson with reckless or negligent injury to a child, and will not play in this Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.

The team tells WCCO that Peterson had been deactivated.

Police say Peterson told them he “whooped” his 4-year-old son with a switch earlier this year.

Photographs obtained by CBS Sports Radio 610 in Houston show a number of cuts on Peterson’s legs and thighs.

Police say the injuries took occurred in Texas in May when Peterson’s son was visiting.

When the boy returned to his mother in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, she took him to a doctor.

Police say the 4-year-old told the doctor Peterson had punished him for pushing his brother off a bike by hitting him with a switch
