Adrian Peterson, already facing felony charges in Texas for child abuse, was accused in a separate incident involving another son who is 4 years old, KHOU-TV in Houston has reported, allegations the Minnesota Vikings running back's lawyer said were unfounded and more than a year old.
The CBS affiliate cites text messages that reportedly include a photo of the son with an apparent head wound covered by bandages.
Peterson was indicted by a grand jury on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child on Friday.
Peterson, who apologized in a statement Monday for "the hurt I have brought to my child," also said he will testify in court that he did not intend to harm his son and said he is "without a doubt, not a child abuser."
The Houston TV station reported the mother of the 4-year-old -- from a different mother than the child he stands charged with abusing -- filed a report with Child Protective Services but no charges were filed.
Peterson attorney Rusty Hardin said in a statement that the accusation was more than a year old and that "authorities took no action."
"An adult witness admittedly insists Adrian did nothing inappropriate with his son," Hardin said in the statement to media.
The reported text exchange was as follows, according to KHOU-TV:
Mother: "What happened to his head?"
Peterson: "Hit his head on the Carseat."
Mother: "How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car."
Peterson: "Yep."
Mother: "Why?"
Peterson: "I felt so bad. But he did it his self."
According to the report, Peterson then goes on to say he was disciplining his son for cursing at a sibling, though how specifically the child was wounded wasn't made clear.
Mother: "What did you hit him with?"
Peter never directly answered, the report said, but later replied: "Be still n take ya whooping he would have saved the scare (scar). He aight (all right)."
When asked about the new accusation, Adrian Peterson's father, Nelson, said, "I haven't seen that report. I haven't heard any allegations."
Peterson has faced heavy criticism for his use of a so-called switch to discipline the other son, but the running back said in his statement that he "never imagined being in a position where the world is judging my parenting skills or calling me a child abuser because of the discipline I administered to my son."
The Vikings deactivated Peterson for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots butannounced in a statement on Monday that Peterson will play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, adding they will let the legal process play out before deciding on further action. The NFL's only comment came on Saturday, when spokesman Brian McCarthy said the league will review Peterson's case "under the NFL's personal conduct policy."
Peterson is scheduled to enter a plea at an Oct. 8 hearing in Conroe, Texas, after his indictment for reckless or negligent injury to a child. Peterson faces up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine if found guilty.

I'm guessing Rick Spielman is drinking himself to sleep tonight considering this sentence.
Which is why most don't understand it.. It's commonplace down here..Papa Pugzo said:his back?! that kid wasn't getting disciplined, he was getting straight up beaten, southern style.
to each their own, i suppose. as a parent, i think my outlook varies from others on the site.dez said:Which is why most don't understand it.. It's commonplace down here..
Whether you view it as right or wrong is up to you.. But spanking/beating a kid IMO is ok
A switch is a little worse cause it stings.. But it's better then your pops cold knocking yo ass out.. Or at least the breath out ya...how I came up
Something's aren't the publics business though.. This being one.
dez said:I'm not saying what he did was right it's just part of southern culture. A switch is over the top, but obviously that's the way ap was brought up.
And bware, I don't think that would be smart lol
Where does the line get drawn? Why is it ok for a complete stranger to tell you how to raise your kid? Lol
There's a BIG difference between spanking/disciplining and abuse..
I say it isn't, that's me. And re read what I said.. I said he gas the right to discipline him.Mobruler said:So is it abuse or not abuse? And if it is, him being that boy's father, does he have every right to abuse him?
