Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson left in the third quarter against Green Bay with an injured right knee.Peterson was injured after a 5-yard run late in the third quarter. He was not able to put any pressure on his leg has he hobbled off the field and needed to be helped back to the locker room for further testing. Upon arriving in the locker room, Peterson was quickly ruled out for the rest of Sunday night.Peterson tore the ACL in his left knee in the second-to-last game of the 2011 season.He was on crutches after the game, wearing a brace on his right leg. Coach Mike Zimmer said he was told the injury had calmed down.He might miss a week. I dont know if he will or not, Zimmer said.Peterson finished the game with just 19 yards on 12 carries against the Packers.Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was knocked out of New Englands game against Miami with a shoulder injury, meaning the highest-profile replacement in the NFL needed a replacement of his own.Garoppolo -- filling in for suspended quarterback Tom Brady -- took a big hit from Miamis Kiko Alonso in the second quarter of the Patriots game against the Dolphins on Sunday and left for further evaluation.The Patriots did not disclose the severity of the injury, but said Garoppolo was ruled out for the rest of the game. The Patriots held on to beat the Dolphins 31-24.Garoppolo was 18 of 27 passing for 234 yards and three touchdowns in less than a half, as New England rolled to a 24-3 halftime lead. He was replaced by rookie Jacoby Brissett, a South Florida native who found himself facing essentially his hometown team in his pro debut. New England didnt need another quarterback, but if it did the likely choice figured to be wide receiver Julian Edelman -- who played QB in college at Kent State.There was a very scary scene in the first half of Sundays early games as well.Cornerback P.J. Williams of the New Orleans Saints needed to be placed on a backboard and taken off on a cart after he took multiple blows to the head while trying to make a tackle in his teams game against the New York Giants. Fox Sports reported that Williams was moving his extremities at a nearby hospital and was being evaluated for a concussion.Also, Broncos linebacker DeMarcus Ware broke his right forearm early in the third quarter against Indianapolis.Coach Gary Kubiak said the team will see the extent of the injury on Monday morning and whether we think its something he can play with or something that has to be fixed.On the play he was hurt, Ware just missed wrapping up Colts quarterback Andrew Luck and appeared to run into a teammate. He walked off holding his right arm.The 34-year-old Ware had a half-sack in the game.In other injuries Sunday:- Cleveland center Cameron Erving left the Browns stadium by ambulance as a precaution, the team said. Erving cramped late in the game and had discomfort in his upper body. The Browns said hes been diagnosed with a pulmonary contusion and he will remain in the hospital overnight for observation.- Danny Woodhead left in the first quarter of San Diegos game against Jacksonville with an apparent right knee injury, and was taken off the sideline on a cart on his way to further evaluation. The Chargers lost Keenan Allen last week, so if Woodheads injury is serious then San Diegos offense would take another hit.- Colts receiver WR Donte Moncrief left in the second quarter with a head and neck injury. Offensive lineman Denzelle Good left in the fourth quarter with a back injury.- Tampa Bay tight end Luke Stocker (ankle) left in the first quarter. And after a 1-yard gain on Tampa Bays first play of the second quarter, running back Doug Martin left with a hamstring injury. Defensive end Robert Ayers Jr. left with an ankle injury late in the second quarter. Finally, wide receiver Cecil Shorts III left with a hamstring injury in the third quarter.- Redskins nose tackle Kedric Golston injured his right hamstring on the first play from scrimmage and missed the rest of Washingtons 27-23 loss to Dallas. He was replaced by Ziggy Hood.- Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah left in the first quarter against Tennessee with a left ankle injury. Detroit also lost running back Ameer Abdullah and tight end Eric Ebron in that game, one in which the Lions wasted a 15-3 lead and lost 16-15.- Jaguars left tackle Kelvin Beachum had a concussion late in the third quarter. The stadium was hushed as he was placed on a back board and lifted onto a cart, which drove him off the field.- Dolphins running back Arian Foster left the game in New England with a groin injury and was ruled out for the second half. Foster was hampered in the week leading up to this game with a hamstring problem, and is coming off surgery to repair his Achilles as well. Miami also lost linebacker Spencer Paysinger in the first half.- Panthers running back Jonathan Stewart was taken to the locker room after suffering a hamstring injury in the first quarter against the San Francisco 49ers, and was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game. Stewart was replaced by Fozzy Whittaker.- Houston wide receiver Braxton Miller hurt a hamstring and did not return. Hes expected to be further evaluated on Monday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Swell Levně . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. Swell Lahev . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. http://www.swelllahevcz.com/ . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Dalvin Cook was one of the college footballs most explosive players last season. But as the Florida State running back prepares for the upcoming season, he wants to be just as potent without the ball.The game plan is going to come in, they are going to want to stop Dalvin, Cook said. I can still influence the defense and draw more 1-on-1 coverages if I have the ball or not. I have to be more fluid and move around more.When the fourth-ranked Seminoles face No. 11 Mississippi in the Sept. 5 opener in Orlando, all eyes will be on the 5-foot-11, 213-pound junior, who has garnered some Heisman talk. Last season Cook set FSU single-season records for rushing (1,691) and all-purpose yards (1,935).There are three other stats though which stand out about Cook. His 7.9 yards per carry and his 22 carries of 20-yards or more led Power Five conference running backs. The carries were a bigger eye opener.Cooks 229 carries were the second-most by a running back in a Jimbo Fisher offense (LSUs LaBrandon Toefield had 230 in 2001) and marked the first time since Greg Allen in 1983 that a Florida State back had 200 carries or more in a season.Hes baby sweetness. . Not comparing him to Walter Payton. He has that juice back there in the backfield, fullback Freddie Stevenson said. He has crazy vision. He might see some things that everybody else might not see. You just know with him behind you, get on your man and hell do the rest.While some may be amazed that Cook had three touchdown runs of 74 yards or more last season, it is what he did in the first 10 yards that made those big plays. On his 94-yard touchdown against Wake Forest, Cook broke two tackles with a cut at the FSU 13 before being gone.I am amazed about some of the cuts I make. Im confident when I do. I dont think twice about it, Cook said. When I make my reads I go with my first instinct and go with it. You see some of the looks on these fans faces it will tell it all.Keeping Cook healthy will be a major focus. During the second half of last season he had a nagging hamstring strain and missed a game due to an ankle injury. As spring practices concluded, he underwent shoulder surgery..ddddddddddddCook is hoping that adding 10 pounds will help him be able to stand up more to the rigors of the season.With a bye week at midseason, Cook should get a chance to rest right before the pivotal Oct. 29 game against Clemson. He will be counted on heavily though during a challenging opening six-game stretch that includes four ranked opponents -- Mississippi, Louisville (Sept. 17) and North Carolina (Oct. 1). Theres also an Oct. 8 trip to Miami.Fisher and strength coach Vic Viloria credit the Seminoles GPS monitoring of player practice levels of preventing a more serious injury last season.Viloria added about the GPS data: Guys run fast and are going to pull hamstrings. If he pulled his hamstring wouldnt you want everyone with a bad hamstring because he rushed for nearly 2,000 yards. With the GPS data Coach Fisher prevented a crack from becoming a crevice.Fisher, who said Cooks carries might be more monitored during the season, added that he has seen a more relaxed Cook.Dalvins a very quiet guy, Fisher said. What Ive seen a lot of growth in, hes more outgoing with his teammates. I think hes having a greater effect on them in everything he does.Florida State returns all of its offensive starters, but with Sean Maguire breaking his right foot on the second day of practice, redshirt freshman Deondre Francois will be the quarterback.Fisher is hoping that the added experience at receiver will make the offense more balanced, but with a young quarterback and receivers struggling in practice, Cook will be counted on early.Cook goes into the season needing 1,260 yards to break Warrick Dunns school career mark of 3,959 yards. Hes also trying to become the first running back from a Florida school to win the Heisman. Florida State, Florida and Miami have combined for seven Heisman winners, but all have gone to quarterbacks.You put all that talk in the back of your head, he said. If we do what we have to do as a group all the individual awards will take care of itself.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
