EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is moving forward in the recovery from surgery on his right knee.Peterson was seen running some short sprints in the teams indoor facility on Tuesday, while the athletic training staff supervised and his teammates went through practice on the field. With five games remaining in the regular season, theres no timetable for Petersons return, but the four-time All-Pro pick could be ready sometime in December.Coach Mike Zimmer has consistently refused to entertain any speculation about whether the Vikings might have the franchises all-time leading rusher in the backfield again this year, but when pressed on the topic by reporters he acknowledged that Peterson was probably ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation. Zimmer said the running session, which took place during the portion of practice that was open to the media, was not the first for Peterson.He looked good to me, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said. Im just amazed at the things that he can do. Other people with that injury, it might take them four to six months, but this guy hes ready to roll. I think hell be back, and hes definitely going to help this team.Peterson previously beat expectations to recover from surgery to repair a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee and joined the Vikings for the 2012 season opener. He went on to rush for 2,097 yards that year and win the NFL MVP award.The Vikings (6-5) are last in the NFL in rushing with 71.1 yards per game and 2.8 yards per attempt, with particular trouble in short-yardage situations that haunted them in a few of their losses. Even behind an injury-ravaged offensive line that has struggled to open holes all season, adding Peterson to the anemic attack wouldnt hurt. His presence, at least, would be a morale boost for a team desperately trying to stop a slide after a 5-0 start.Well worry about all that when that happens, Zimmer said. Right now, we have to focus on Dallas.The Vikings host the league-leading Cowboys (10-1) on Thursday.Peterson rushed for a paltry 50 yards on 31 carries in two games before tearing his meniscus against Green Bay on Sept. 18 and had surgery four days later. If he were to return for the game against Indianapolis on Dec. 18, that would be a little less than three months from the operation. The rematch with the Packers on the road is on Dec. 24, the five-year anniversary of the ACL and MCL injury to his left knee.Petersons teammates were predictably excited, speaking with more certainty than hope.He looked good, and it kind of caught me off guard, left guard Alex Boone said. We were doing a little walkthrough, and he was running around. We look forward to his return.Munnerlyn and safety Harrison Smith, both dealing with ankle injuries, returned to practice on a limited basis on Tuesday. So did linebacker Chad Greenway after the birth of his daughter. Linebacker Eric Kendricks (hip), wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee), quarterback Sam Bradford (ankle) and defensive end Everson Griffen (shoulder) were limited participants but should also be good to go for Thursday. Center Joe Berger (concussion) and punt returner Marcus Sherels (ribs) are the two key players likely to miss the game.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Roberto Alomar Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.

Adam Cimber Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. Rick Sutcliffe Jersey . Its 1987 and a Brazilian playmaker, known as Mirandinha, is being paraded around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans. Despite the fact that theyre coming off the best finish in franchise history (103 points), the Florida Panthers were one of the busiest teams during the offseason. Even the team logo is new (and its pretty cool, too).Former general manager Dale Tallon was promoted to president of hockey operations, while Tom Rowe took over as general manager.The Panthers acquired veteran defenseman Keith Yandle from the New York Rangers and then signed him to a seven-year deal worth $44.45 million. Florida also traded defenseman Dmitry Kulikov to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for defensive prospect Mark Pysyk,?and?acquired goaltender Reto Berra from the Colorado Avalanche for center Rocco Grimaldi. The Panthers also signed goalie James Reimer, center Colton Sceviour, center Jonathan Marchessault and defenseman Jason Demers. All these moves should help them build off last seasons success, but it will be interesting to see how all the changes play out in Florida.Best new facesThe additions of Yandle and Demers will bolster the blue line. Yandles presence no doubt will help the power play, too. When it was evident that the Rangers werent going to be able to sign Yandle because of cap constraints, there were plenty of suitors for the veteran blueliner.When they traded for my rights, I knew they wanted me, Yandle said. It was a great feeling for me to be wanted, especially before to get to [free agency] on July 1. I knew once something could get settled, it would be a good fit.Demers registered 23 or more points in each of the past three seasons while playing for the San Jose Sharks and Dallas Stars?before signing a five-year deal with Florida this summer. Reimer will serve as backup to starter Roberto Luongo. The Panthers gave Reimer a five-year deal worth $17 million.Biggest unknownsJaromir Jagr seems like hes been around forever. The grizzly veteran forward -- who led the team last season with 66 points -- rolls into this season at age 44 but shows no signs of stopping. The future Hall of Famer surpassed Gordie Howe to rank third on the NHLs all-time scoring list when he reached 1,851 points last season. Its likely hell pass?Mark Messier for second on that lisst soon since Jagr begins the season only 19 points shy of that mark.ddddddddddddBut how much does Jagr have left in the tank? The game is getting younger and faster each season, and its only a matter of time before it catches up with him. To his credit, he remains in great shape. But he has to slow down at some point, right?Forward Nick Bjugstad, who dealt with an upper-body injury during the playoffs and is now out with a broken hand, is lost to the team for four weeks. Defenseman Aaron Ekblad signed an eight-year extension worth $60 million in July, but then had his World Cup of Hockey experience cut short because of whiplash he suffered while playing for Team North America. How these players react to their injuries once fully recovered will be key.Sure thingsAleksander Barkov, 21, proved during the World Cup while playing for Team Finland that hes set to continue breaking out. During 2015-16, he registered 28 goals and 31 assists for 59 points in 66 games for the Panthers. Entering his fourth season in the NHL, Barkov could be one of the most dynamic players in the league.Teammate Reilly Smith, who signed a five-year extension this summer, had his best overall NHL season in 2015-16. The 25-year-old forward posted 25 goals and 25 assists for 50 points in 82 games. Hes become a leader on and off the ice for the Panthers, who once again will rely on his production.?Second-line center Vincent Trocheck, 23, earned himself a six-year contract worth $28.5 million in July. He had 25 goals and 28 assists for 53 points in 76 games last season and looked good in the World Cup. Forward Jonathan Huberdeau, 23, posted 20 goals and 39 assists for 59 points in 76 games last season, and the Panthers rewarded him with a six-year deal worth $34.5 million during the summer. Both can be counted on to continue their development this season.PredictionThe Panthers will build on last seasons success, and now that their core of young talent has emerged as bona fide NHLers, they will again earn a postseason berth.?Third in the Atlantic.
