Share this: The Minnesota Vikings broke a four-game skid Sunday with a huge win over the Arizona Cardinals, and more good news might be on the horizon. Ben Goessling of ESPN.com has reported, citing league sources, that superstar running back Adrian Peterson could return to the Vikings sometime in December. Peterson suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee in Week 2 and needed to have surgery. The Vikings desperately need him back, too. They rank dead last in the NFL with 2.7 yards per rushing attempt and 70 rushing yards per game. It’s made their offense one-dimensional and was a major reason why they lost four straight games after a 5-0 start. Minnesota visits the Detroit Lions on Thursday for a pivotal NFC

Kyle Schwarber Records Hit During Return To Cubs In World Series Game 1
Talk about a comeback. Chicago Cubs young slugger Kyle Schwarber tore two ligaments in his knee on April 7, just three games into Chicago’s eventual 103-win season and march to the World Series. But after pushing through his rehab, Schwarber managed to get into some Arizona Fall League games over the weekend and was activated from the disabled list in time for Game 1 of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday. He made the Cubs looks smart, nearly blasting a home run out of the park with his team trailing 3-0. The ball landed just below the top of the fence, and he legged out a double for his first
Russell Wilson Injury: Seahawks Quarterback Sprains Knee, Leaves Blowout Win Vs….
Share this: Russell Wilson was already nursing an ankle injury. Now, that’s the least of his worries. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback left Sunday’s blowout 38-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers twice due to what the team is calling a sprained left knee. Wilson’s knee bent horrifically in the wrong direction during one play in which he was scrambling to his right, and he left the game but returned after missing only one snap. He later left the game again and was fitted with a left knee brace. He intends to play in Week 4, and said he could have returned Sunday if the game was close. Some reports are speculating that Wilson has a sprained MCL, but it appears his ACL fortunately is
Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson Planning To Have Knee Surgery
Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson appears to be headed for surgery after he suffered a right knee injury in last week’s win over the Green bay Packers. Peterson wasn’t playing well before the injury happened. He’s ran for just 50 yards on 31 carries, and the Vikings are the only team without 100 rushing yards through the first two games combined. Still, Peterson remains one of the best players in the league and his loss for any amount of games would be a huge blow to an offense with just two offensive touchdowns all season. Fantasy football owners should look to the waiver wire or Vikings backup running backs Jerick McKinnon ... NESN.com
Red Sox Notes: Boston’s Confidence Continues To Grow As Postseason Nears
Share this: Remember when Kevin Millar famously told The Boston Globe’s Dan Shaughnessy, “Don’t let (the Boston Red Sox) win today?” Well the rest of the American League East probably should re-watch “Four Days in October” right about now because Boston is leaving them all in the dust. The Red Sox are 13-5 in September after picking up their sixth straight victory Tuesday in a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles, and those six straight wins have come against the New York Yankees and Orioles. That successful stretch has the Red Sox sitting pretty atop the AL East, and their magic number to clinch the division now is down to eight. They have a 91.5 percent chance to win the division, according to MLB.com, and their postseason
Adrian Peterson Suffers Knee Injury, Ruled Out For Rest Of Vikings-Packers
Share this: The Minnesota Vikings have had no luck this season when it comes to injuries. Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson hasn’t exactly been lighting up the stat sheet so far this season, but that was an afterthought following what happened Sunday against the Green Packers. After gaining a chunk of yards on a first down late in the third quarter, Peterson had trouble getting up due to a right knee injury and had to be helped off the field and into the locker room. Michele Tafoya said Vikings med staff was doing stability test on Peterson's knee. Stability test is done for ACLs, typically — Jason Cole (@JasonColeBR) September 19, 2016 The Vikings later ruled Peterson out for the rest of their “Sunday Night Football” game against the
