EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings placed Adrian Peterson on injured reserve Friday, meaning the running back will officially be out until at least mid-November.Peterson had surgery Thursday to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee after he was injured in the third quarter of the Vikings 17-14 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.Recovery from a torn meniscus typically takes three to four months, meaning Peterson could miss all or most of the Vikings remaining 14 games. The team can bring one player back off injured reserve after a minimum of eight weeks, and the NFL no longer requires clubs to designate a player for return upon placing him on IR.The Vikings decision, though, means that either Peterson or left tackle Matt Kalil is definitely out for the season. The Vikings placed Kalil on injured reserve this week with a torn labrum in his right hip, and would not be able to bring both Peterson and Kalil back from IR.Sam Mewis USA Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

His 17 homers are a career high and he leads the majors with a .360 average. He hadnt driven in more than four runs in a game before Sunday.Im still impressed a little bit about my homers, Altuve said with a grin.Luis Valbuena, Preston Tucker and Evan Gattis also homered for the Astros, who extended their winning streak against the Angels to 11 games.There were runners at first and second with no outs in the first when Altuve connected off Tim Lincecum (2-4) on a home run to left-center field to make it 3-0. Valbuenas home run came with one out in the inning to push the lead to 4-0.He finds a way to get in the middle of it every single game, manager A.J. Hinch said.

To give up three home runs and give up seven or eight hits in that span is pretty pathetic. Ive got a lot of work to do.Hed had great success against the Astros in his time with the Giants and entered the game 2-0 with a 0.34 ERA in four career starts at Minute Maid Park.
