    JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

    Former NFL offensive guard Rich Tylski and his wife were accused of hitting their daughter with a belt, slamming her head on a table and other abuse that left the girl with broken bones in her hands and legs.

    The 35-year-old former Jacksonville Jaguars player and wife Jane, 36, were free on $20,000 bond each on the child abuse and neglect charges. They were released Wednesday after turning themselves in. A message left on their home answering machine was not immediately returned and it was unclear if they had lawyers.

    The child, whose age and name were not released, was taken to a Jacksonville hospital on March 10. Her parents said she had fallen down the stairs about eight hours earlier.

    Doctors found extensive bruising in various stages of healing. A skeletal survey found six or seven healing fractures in the child's hand, the police report stated.

    The girl later told investigators that she lied about falling down the stairs and she demonstrated on a doll how her mother had pushed her leg over her head until they heard a pop, the report said. The report also stated that Rich Tylski said he had hit the child with a belt.

    The Department of Children & Families told police the girl missed 14 days of school from October to March.

    During an interview on March 24, the child told investigators that her mother slammed her head on the table when she would not eat. She said both her mother and father hit her. She said a scar on her forehead was from her mother slamming her head into the table, but denied her mother hurt her leg, the police report said.

    In a second interview on April 3, the girl described how her mother would bend her fingers backward. All Pro Dad, which promotes active fatherhood, listed Tylski as an NFL player involved with the organization on its Web site early Friday.

    "Being a good father and a good husband are the most important things in my life," Tylski is quoted as saying on the site. "Family always comes first."

    A call to All Pro Dads' Tampa office was not immediately returned, but the all reference to Tylski were removed from its Web site

    A call to the DCF about the case was not immediately returned.

    Tylski played the first four years of his career for the Jaguars, then spent four years with the Pittsburgh Steelers and one year with the Carolina Panthers before retiring after the 2004 season. On the police report, he said he was self-employed. His wife did not list an employer on her arrest report.
