Facing off against the tandem of Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen is probably not the best time to be missing both of your starting cornerbacks Cheap Kyle Rudolph Jersey , but that’s the situation that the Los Angeles Rams find themselves in as they prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football.One of the Rams’ starting corners, Aqib Talib, is not listed on the team’s injury report. That’s because, as we discussed in our Q&A with Turf Show Times earlier today, he has already been placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss the next eight weeks after undergoing ankle surgery. The other starter, Marcus Peters, is listed by the Rams as “questionable” with an ankle injury of his own after being carried off the field by teammates in the Rams win over the Chargers in Week 3. Peters did not practice on Monday or Tuesday, but was a limited participant on Wednesday.The Rams have declared two players as “out” for tomorrow night’s game. They are kicker Greg Zuerlein, who will miss this one with a. . .cringe. . .groin injury. Also out for the Rams is wide receiver/kick returner JoJo Natson Andrew Sendejo Jersey , who will miss the game with a hand injury. Get back, JoJo!Finally, the Rams will likely be missing another starter in linebacker Mark Barron. Barron is listed as “doubtful” with an ankle injury, and was limited in practice on Wednesday after missing the previous two days.The full Rams’ injury report is below. We’ll have more coverage of this game over the next 24 hours or so as we approach kickoff at the Coliseum.Los Angeles Rams injury report vs Minnesota VikingsPlayerPositionInjuryMonday*TuesdayWednesdayThursday StatusPlayerPositionInjuryMonday*TuesdayWednesdayThursday Status* - The Rams did not actually practice on Monday, but this is what they estimate the injury report would have looked like if they had. Adrian Peterson knows how most people see running backs in their 30s.So he asked Washington Redskins legend John Riggins how he dealt with it."He was like, 'I'm taking care of my body and I have that mindset of you still got it and that determination. Most importantly, playing real hard,'" Peterson said. "Those are some of the same things that keep me going. It's always good to get confirmation from guys who have done it before."Peterson is confirming to everyone else in the NFL he's still got it. His 236 yards are good for fifth in the league, only three players have more than his three touchdowns and the 33-year-old's contributions are one of the biggest reasons the Redskins are 2-1 at their bye week.Washington went into training camp hoping second-round pick Derrius Guice would take the majority of the carries and work in tandem with third down back Chris Thompson.Guice tore his ACL in the preseason opener Cheap Harrison Smith Jersey , the Redskins sought an answer and signed Peterson, who has so far been better than expected after injuries cost him much of last season."He fell into our lap at a critical time, we needed a player, and he was there for us," coach Jay Gruden said. "He is everything as advertised."Peterson came advertised as one of the most prolific running backs in history, but someone who hadn't put up 1,000-plus yards since 2015. His workout — where he gave the Redskins no choice but to sign him over Jamaal Charles and younger back Orleans Darkwa — was the first indication Peterson could still run "All Day" as his nickname suggests.His 26 carries for 96 yards and a touchdown in the opener at Arizona gave way to a rough Week 2 when Peterson had just 20 yards on 11 carries behind a banged-up offensive line. Running for 120 yards and two TDs on 19 carries Sunday in a blowout of Green Bay didn't just revive hope in Peterson, but opened up the possibility he could be the Redskins' workhorse all season."I hope so," Peterson said. "It felt good to get out there and get into a rhythm Cheap Linval Joseph Jersey , establish and be physical and get some nice chunks. If it's not broke, don't fix it."Even the best running backs' bodies break down typically at this age, and Peterson looked as if he was no different. He tore the meniscus in his right knee and strained a groin muscle in 2016 and had a season-ending neck injury in 2017.The fact Peterson was off from last November until the Redskins signed him is a testament to his ability to stay in shape and reinvent himself."It definitely inspires me," said Dalvin Cook, who succeeded Peterson as the Minnesota Vikings' starting running back. "He's just one of those backs that don't come around too often: big, physical, can run fast, he's starting to catch the ball. He's just a different back, different mentality. You try to put yourself in his shoes Cheap Laquon Treadwell Jersey , but sometimes you just can't."Only Peterson knows how he feels 141 regular-season and playoff games into his career. As he continues to climb the all-time rushing list — he's 10th and 227 yards back of Tony Dorsett for ninth place — he thinks less about the players he's passing and more about how to prove doubters wrong about him."I can't change people's perspective and how they feel," Peterson said. "People are still saying, 'Hey, guys can't do it over 30.' The only thing I try to do is be an example to let people know that, 'Hey, you can.' You can break through the box. It's all about your mentality and of course taking care of your body and having that faith."AP Pro Football Writers Dave Campbell and Howard Fendrich contributed.作者: christian398 時間: 2023-1-1 08:51
