EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Adrian Peterson was placed on injured reserve Friday by the Minnesota Vikings, another sign that his time with the team could be over following surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.NFL teams can pull one player off injured reserve per season, so the Vikings would be able to activate the leading rusher in franchise history sometime down the stretch if he were to heal swiftly. The likelihood of him returning this year, though, is slim given the typical recovery time for the injury he suffered last weekend in the game against Green Bay.The move created an opening on the active roster the Vikings didnt immediately fill.Also Friday, left tackle Matt Kalil had surgery to repair a labrum tear in his right hip. He was operated on by team physician Dr. Chris Larson, who performed Petersons procedure at Twin Cities Orthopedics the day before. The Vikings called Kalils procedure successful, but hell miss the first game of his career Sunday when the Vikings (2-0) visit Carolina. Kalil, who will be replaced by T.J. Clemmings, also was placed on injured reserve.Kalil struggled through the first two games at less than full strength. He has started all 66 games, plus two in the playoffs, since the Vikings made him the fourth pick in the 2012 draft out of USC. Kalils contract will expire after this season.Three Vikings starters were sent into surgery this week.Defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd had an arthroscopic procedure to clean up cartilage damage in his right knee done Thursday by Dr. James Andrews. No timetable for his return has been provided by the team, but Floyd had a similar operation done last season on the left knee. He missed three four games then, and coach Mike Zimmer has not hidden his disappointment with Floyds inability to stay healthy.Shamar Stephen has filled in for Floyd in the defensive line rotation.Hes getting better as a pass rusher. Hes played the run very well. Hes growing up. Hes talking a lot more, Zimmer said. Before you couldnt hardly get any words out of him, so now hes a lot more vocal. But hes been playing good.The only good news on the injury front this week was the return of cornerback Xavier Rhodes (right knee) to practice. He was a limited participant Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, but hes on track to be available against the Panthers.I think theres a good possibility, Zimmer said. Well see.Wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffered a groin injury this week that prompted the Vikings to keep him out of practice Friday, but Zimmer said that was a precautionary decision. Diggs was not listed on the injury report, meaning he will play on Sunday.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL coverage on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vin Baker Jersey .

Eddie Jones says England have failed to produce a world-class player since Jonny Wilkinson, but believes a number of his Grand Slam winners are close to ending that barren spell.World Rugby layer of the year nominees Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola, as well as fly-half George Ford -- each of whom start against Argentina -- are three England stars pushing hard for inclusion in a global XV.If you look at the record of English rugby since 2003, theres only been one world-class player produced and thats Jonny Wilkinson, Jones said. But some of our guys are moving towards that world-class area. I dont think you get a stamp on your head to say youre world class now and youve got that for life.Weve got guys now who are starting to perform 8 out of 10 every game and when you do that then you become world class. Now we have a number of players who want to be part of a great team and want to be great players. Theyre growing in assertiveness and in their desire to be better, which is fantastic.Before, there hasnt been the desire from the players to push themselves and be great. To do that you have to work that little bit smarter and work that little bit harder.Jones is preparing for the penultimate international of an autumn that could conclude with a record-equalling 14th successive Test victory. Argentina play their final match of the season at Twwickenham on Saturday.ddddddddddddThe first thing about playing against Argentina is that its a test of your manhood, Jones said. They are physical guys. When you go to Argentina, you have a big steak, dont you? Its all about being physical. Thats our first test. Weve got no issue with that, we know thats coming.Jones also aimed a barb at Englands Dec. 3 opponents Australia, saying Argentinas last-placed finish in this years Rugby Championship failed to reflect the Pumas true quality.They were probably the second best team in the Rugby Championship, Jones said, despite Australia finishing runners-up. We are playing a very good side that we know if they scent any sense of complacency in us, theyll be all over us like a rash.Theyve played some fantastic rugby and any team that stretches the All Blacks for 50 minutes is a really good team. They did that in the summer with some wonderful rugby.In terms of results, they dropped off towards the end of the Championship and they probably had some fatigue. But fatigue tends to go out the window when you know youre going back to a six-week holiday because this is their last game of the year. They out All-Blacked the All Blacks and to do that you have to be pretty good. ' ' '
