Vikings' Adrian Peterson: Ruled out of preseason

Peterson is expected to sit out the rest of the Vikings' preseason games, Ben Goessling of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

While coach Mike Zimmer indicated recently that he'd leave the door open for Peterson to play this week, the two sides came to an agreement Thursday that it was in their best interest to keep him sidelined for the rest of the preseason schedule. Peterson is expected to go through practices like normal, but the Vikings want to play it safe with their star running back and will avoid further risks to his health. With that said, Peterson isn't in danger of missing Week 1.
