It has been confirmed that Adrian Peterson’s 2 year-old-son is dead. He died due to severe physical trauma suffered at the hands of his son’s mother’s boyfriend, Robert Patterson.

The offender is currently in police custody, but the damage is done. But with the same character that willed his body back to the field in record time after an ACL tear, Adrian Peterson has vowed to take the field on Sunday against the Panthers.

The prayers and thoughts of the Giantlife family go out to Mr. Peterson in this difficult time.

And woe unto the defensive line of the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
