Details of his son’s horrific death went widespread on Friday (October 11).

The 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson died Friday of injuries suffered when he was beaten two days earlier, allegedly by his mother’s boyfriend. The child died in a hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D., about 11:43 a.m. He had been hospitalized in critical condition with head injuries since arriving by ambulance on Wednesday night. The child’s name was not released. The tot was apparently a “secret” child, according to media reports. Peterson was not sure the child was his until recently. Peterson, who is not married, has another son about the same age named Adrian Peterson Jr., and a daughter, Adeja, with a different woman. (New York Daily News)

Despite the tragedy, the NFL star is still expected to suit up and play today.
