Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings warms up prior to an NFL game on September 22, 2013 in Minneapolis.
Sioux Falls police spokesman Sam Clemens said Adrian Peterson's son died after he suffered injuries doctors believe were caused by child abuse.
The 2-year-old son of National Football League Most Valuable Player Adrian Peterson died Friday in Sioux Falls, S.D., after an apparent assault, according to police in South Dakota and media reports.
Sioux Falls police spokesman Sam Clemens said the boy died after suffering head injuries Wednesday, adding that doctors at the hospital where the child was taken said they believed the injuries were caused by child abuse.
South Dakota officials said earlier on Friday that a 27-year-old man had been charged with aggravated battery and aggravated assault on accusations of abusing a 2-year-old boy, who was not identified at the time.
Clemens said the man, Joseph Patterson, will face additional charges. Patterson is being held on a $750,000 cash bond, according to police.
