Houston Texans running back Darius Anderson was charged with felony burglary of habitation after an incident in Texas last week, court records showed.
Anderson was initially charged with burglary with intent to rape, but Houston police changed the charge on Tuesday. Police said a "coding error" was responsible for the mistaken charge, according to TMZ Sports.
A hearing on the incident is set for Wednesday.

"We are aware of the report involving Darius Anderson. We are gathering information and have no further comment at this time," the Texans said in a statement late Monday to Fox News Digital.
Anderson, 24, allegedly broke into the Houston home and pursued a woman into her bathroom, and later the woman called police from the bathroom while Anderson left, according to Pro Football Talk.
The woman told authorities the NFL player "has hit her in the past, but she never made a report before this incident," according to FOX26 Houston. The woman reportedly said the two broke up two months ago, but he's been staying at her house and does not have a key.
