Peterson (thigh) didn't practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

After suffering a "minor" thigh bruise Tuesday, it's no surprise that Peterson is taking a seat just one day later. No matter how the ailment heals in the short term, he'll likely remain on the sideline for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, as he has in each of the past three preseasons.
