MINNESOTA — Star running back Adrian Peterson will remain off the Minnesota Vikings until his legal matters are resolved.

Vikings owner Zygi Wilf says the team “made a mistake” by bringing back Adrian Peterson following his indictment on a felony child-abuse charge in Texas.

The Vikings had benched Peterson for last Sunday’s loss to New England. But the next day, the team said they would bring him back to play and sponsors reacted swiftly.

The Vikings had at least one major sponsorship suspended. Several NFL advertisers, including Anheuser-Busch, expressed concern about the league’s recent off-the-field problems.

The Minnesota governor said it was embarrassing.

Early today, the team said Peterson would be barred from all activities. Co-owner Mark Wilf said the decision was “absolutely not” related to sponsor concerns.

Peterson was indicted after using a wooden switch to spank his 4-year-old son earlier this year.
