Watching Adrian Peterson hop ... and hop ... and hop ... and hop his way through the Minnesota Vikings new stadium, one couldnt help but wonder: How badly might one of the NFLs premier running backs be injured? And: Isnt there a better way to get a hurt player to the locker room?The answer to that first question could be clearer Monday, when Peterson is scheduled for an MRI exam on his right knee, which gave way at the end of a run in the third quarter of Minnesotas 17-14 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.After the game Sunday night, Peterson was wearing a brace on his right leg and using crutches.He might miss a week, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. I dont know if he will or not.Peterson was the 2012 league MVP and is a three-time league rushing leader. So given that the Vikings already lost starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater for the season, losing Peterson for any significant amount of time could really undermine what Zimmer is developing on the defensive side of the ball.It capped a rough day for running backs: Tampa Bays Doug Martin, Miamis Arian Foster, San Diegos Danny Woodhead, Carolinas Jonathan Stewart and Detroits Ameer Abdullah all got injured.In case you missed it, here are the other top topics after the NFL seasons second Sunday:PATS NEED A SUB FOR THE SUB: Rookie QB Jacoby Brissetts first NFL start could come this week, when he might be called upon to sub for the suspended Tom Bradys sub, the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, in the New England Patriots game Thursday against the Houston Texans and old friend Bill OBrien. Brissett, a third-round draft pick, played in New Englands 31-24 win against Miami on Sunday after Garoppolos right shoulder got hurt when he was slammed to the ground by linebacker Kiko Alonso.SEAHAWKS STUMBLES: Tough to decide which is more troubling about Seattles 1-1 start -- the zero turnovers created by its defense or the sole touchdown produced by Russell Wilson and the offense. A 9-3 loss to the punchless Los Angeles Rams is not a good look. Consider: The Rams have fewer touchdowns (zero) than victories (one). And yet No. 1 overall draft pick Jared Goff remains on the bench while Case Keenum plays QB for Jeff Fisher.DAKS DEAL: Used to be that as Tony Romo dealt with injury after injury, the Dallas Cowboys were destined to lose game after game. Maybe its different now. Dak Prescott became the teams first rookie QB to win a start in 12 years when he led Dallas past the imploding Washington Redskins 27-23. Prescott completed 22 of 30 passes for 292 yards, he ran for a TD and, perhaps of most significance, he has yet to have a turnover in two games. Hes very composed. Hes very confident in himself, teammate Alfred Morris said. Hes a natural leader, so I love that about him.0-2 AND LOOKING BAD: There are seven teams that are 0-2 -- Chicago could join them with a loss against Philadelphia on Monday night -- and several look as if theres little hope of a turnaround. Jacksonville, Buffalo and Cleveland, for example. Most surprising club in that category? Maybe the Redskins, who not only have to be concerned about QB Kirk Cousins -- only one TD pass and three interceptions so far, including an end-zone pick on third-and-goal at the 6 on Sunday -- but also some internal finger-pointing, including defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois wondering aloud about why the defense never makes adjustments.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Discount Nike Vapormax .

Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. CLEMSON, S.C. -- Marcquise Reed was glad to be back in the game after a year on the sidelines. He was even happier to show off his scoring touch in his first game at Clemson.Reed scored 19 points, including seven straight during a crucial second-half stretch, to lead the Tigers to a 74-64 victory over Georgia at re-opened Littlejohn Coliseum on Friday night.It felt great to go out there and compete against somebody else besides my teammates who Ive been playing against every day for a year, said Reed, who transferred to Clemson from Robert Morris.Reed was an instant hit at Littlejohn, which underwent a $63.5 million renovation since it last hosted a game in March 2015.After Georgia (0-1) cut a double-digit deficit to 51-48 on two William Jackson II 3-pointers with 10 minutes left, Reed went off on his run to restore Clemsons margin.Reed hit a jumper, then stole the ball from J.J. Frazier and powered in for another basket. Moments later, he nailed a three and the Tigers were ahead 60-50. The Bulldogs never got closer than seven points the rest of the way.Hes one of those wild dogs, youve got to let him hunt. Youve got to let him loose, Clemson coach Brad Brownell said of his transfer guard.Reed was the Northeast Conference rookie of the year in 2914-15, averaging 15.1 points a game for the Colonials. His run included 21 points that season in a loss at Clemson.When we were coming out the huddle, I told my team, `Weve got to find a way to get a bucket, said Reed, a 6-foot-3 sophomore. They went on their run and then we went on our run.Yante Maten led the Bulldogs with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Frazier, who averaged 16.9 points last year, finished with 11 on 5-of-13 shooting.BIG PICTUREGeorgia and Clemson are in similar situations -- programs in Power Five lleagues with longtime head coaches looking to move up.ddddddddddddThe Bulldogs and coach Mark Fox will need Frazier to play like an all-SEC guy if they hope to live up to their preseason ranking of fourth in the conference behind Kentucky, Florida and Texas A&M.Tigers coach Brad Brownell led his team to 10 ACC wins last season, but missed out on the NCAA Tournament with a 17-14 record. Clemson was chosen 11th at the preseason league gathering despite having a first-team all-ACC member in Jaron Blossomgame returning for his senior year.SOLID SCORINGClemson had four players with double-figure scoring. Reed led the way with 19 followed by Gabe DeVoe with 15, Jaron Blossomgame with 13 and Avry Holmes with 10.NOT SO SOLID EFFORTGeorgia coach Mark Fox was not happy about much he saw from his team against Clemson. He said the offense failed to make plays when it counted and his defense was nowhere near tough enough to win a game like this on the road. We set the game back with our lack of poise, Fox said.FIRST GAME JITTERSBrownell, Clemsons seventh-year coach, acknowledged a bit of anxiety over wanting to win the first game in his redone arena. He and others in the athletic department had spent significant time the past few years pushing for the renovations and knew it would be difficult to explain a first-game loss before a packed crowd of 9,000. You dont want to lose a game like this.UP NEXTGeorgia opens its home season against UNC Asheville on Monday night.Clemson is off for nearly a week until facing Davidson on Thursday at the Tire Pros Invitational in Orlando, Florida.---More AP college basketball: http://collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
