EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Adrian Peterson continues to make progress toward a possible return this season.The Minnesota Vikings running back ran short sprints in the end zone of the teams indoor practice field on Tuesday, continuing his rehab from the torn right meniscus he suffered in September.Sources had told ESPN last week that Peterson was cleared to begin running. Coach Mike Zimmer said Tuesday was not Petersons first time running on a field during his rehab, but the running backs appearance at practice showed he still is heading in the right direction toward playing again this season.Hes doing good, Zimmer said, Hes probably ahead of schedule, I guess.The typical recovery timetable after a full meniscus repair, which Peterson had on Sept. 22, is thought to be at least three to four months. Sources told ESPN earlier this month that Peterson could be on the early end of that timetable, with a return on Dec. 18 against the Indianapolis Colts or Dec. 24 against the Green Bay Packers appearing to be distinct possibilities.On Tuesday, Zimmer would not discuss a timetable for when Peterson could practice or possibly return to action.Well worry about all that when that happens, Zimmer said. Right now, we have to focus on Dallas and their team.Petersons possible return could provide a boost to the leagues 32nd-ranked running game.He looked good, guard Alex Boone said. It kind of caught me off guard a little bit. We were doing a little walk-through, and he was running around. We look forward to his return. George Kittle Super Bowl Jersey . The defence is doing its part, too. Drew Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes in the first half and the guys on the other side made sure that was enough, sending the Saints to a 17-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.

The Highlanders won 23-7 in Invercargill earlier this year, while the Brumbies have suffered some big losses at home. Early money is with the Highlanders.Greg Growdens verdict:?Highlanders should win no matter what against lackadaisical Brumbies.Saturday July 23Hurricanes v Sharks, Westpac Stadium, WellingtonKey stat (Opta Stats)The Hurricanes have now won their last five fixtures in succession; the last time they won more in a row was when they opened the 2015 with seven straight wins.Line-upsHurricanes:?James Marshall, Cory Jane, Matt Proctor, Willis Halaholo, Jason Woodward, Beauden Barrett, TJ Perenara, Victor Vito, Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Michael Fatialofa, Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Dane Coles (captain), Loni Uhila, Replacements: Ricky Riccitelli, Chris Eves, Mike Kainga, Mark Abbott, Callum Gibbins, Jamison Gibson Park, Vince Aso, Julian Savea.Sharks:?Willie le Roux, JP Pietersen, Paul Jordaan, Andre Esterhuizen, Lwazi Mvovo, Garth April, Michael Claassens, Philip van der Walt, Jean-Luc du Preez, Keegan Daniel, Stephan Lewies, Etienne Oosthuizen, Coenie Oosthuizen, Franco Marais, Tendai Mtawarira (captain) Replacements: Chiliboy Ralepelle, Dale Chadwick, Thomas du Toit, Hyron Andrews, Tera Mtembu, Stefan Ungerer, Curwin Bosch, Odwa Ndungane.Team NewsHurricanes head coach Chris Boyd has made three inclusions to his starting XV to face the Sharks, with Matt Proctor recovered from a hamstring strain to take his place at centre and props Loni Uhila and Ben May named in the front-row. Proctors return sees Jason Woodward shift to the left wing in place of Julian Savea, who moves to the reserves. Uhila starts at loosehead prop in place of Reggie Goodes, who was unavailable for selection after leaving the field with concussion during the final round of the regular season against the Crusaders in Christchurch.The Sharks are boosted by the return from injury of Willie le Roux, Paul Jordaan and Jean-Luc du Preez.UBET verdict:?Hurricanes $1.14, Sharks $5.75. The last five between these two have gone to the home side, with four of those being by 13+. Sharks did win 32-15 at home earlier in year, but the Canes are near unbeatable at home, and are the shortest priced favourite of the round.Greg Growdens verdict:?Hurricanes should walk over the Sharks in comfortable fashion.Lions v Crusaders, Ellis Park, JohannesburgKey stat (Opta Stats)The Crusaders have won their last seven games against the Lions, scoring 28 points or more on all but one occasion.Line-upsLions:?Andries Coetzee, Ruan Combrrinck, Lionel Mapoe, Rohan Janse Van Rensburg, Courtnal Skosan, Elton Jantjies, Faf de Klerk, Warren Whiteley (captain), Warwick Tecklenburg, Jaco Kriel, Franco Mostert, Andries Ferreira, Julian Redelinghuys, Malcolm Marx, Dylon Smith Replacements: Armand van der Merwe, Corne Fourie, Jacques Van Rooyen, Ruan Ackermann, Cyle Brink, Ross Cronje, Howard Mnisi, Jaco van der Walt / Sylvian MahuzaCrusaders:?Israel Dagg, Johnny McNicholl, Ryan Crotty, David Havili, Jone Macilai, Richie Mounga, Andy Ellis, Kieran Read (captain), Matt Todd, Jordan Taufua, Sam Whitelock, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Codie Taylor, Wyatt Crockett Replacements: Ben Funnell, Alex Hodgman, Mike Alaalatoa, Scott Barrett, Jimmy Tupou, Mitchell Drummond, Ben Volavola, Kieron Fonotia.ddddddddddddTeam NewsLions captain Warren Whiteley has been cleared to play after struggling with a shoulder injury.The Crusaders have made five changes to the 23 that played the Hurricanes last weekend. Halfback Andy Ellis and lock Sam Whitelock were late withdrawals from the team last week, but both have been declared fit to play against the Lions (Ellis recovering from a calf strain and Whitelock from a virus). Jordan Taufua comes back into the starting line-up at 6, and Jimmy Tupou shifts to the bench. The only changes to the backs are Jone Macilai taking the wing in the place of the injured Nemani Nadolo, and Ben Volavola taking a spot in the reserves in place of Mitchell Hunt.UBET verdict: Lions $1.85, Crusaders $1.95.?Not much separating these two in the betting. The Lions rested all of their players last week, and have lost 12 of the last 13 vs. the Crusaders, but are a different side in 2016. The worry for the Lions is that they have played three Kiwi sides at home this year, and only beat the Blues, and prior to that lost to the Hurricanes and Crusaders (Round 6 lost by six). Early money is with the Crusaders.Greg Growdens verdict:?Lions to prevail.Stormers v Chiefs, Newlands, Cape TownKey stat (Opta Stats)No player has beaten more defenders than Damian McKenzie and the Chiefs full-back is just seven carries shy of becoming the second player to make 200 carries this season.Line-upsStormers:?Jaco Taute, Kobus van Wyk, Huw Jones, Damian de Allende, Leolin Zas, Robert du Preez, Nic Groom, Schalk Burger (co-captain), Siya Kolisi, Sikhumbuzo Notshe, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Eben Ezebeth, Vincent Koch, Bongi Mbonambi, Alistair Vermaak.

Nic Groom?returns inside him, after being rested against the Kings. Up front, Bongi Mbonambi starts at hooker, with Scarra Ntubeni moving to the replacements bench where he will be joined by props Oli Kebble and co-captain Frans Malherbe who are both returning from injury. Locks Eben Etzebeth and Pieter-Steph du Toit both return after sitting out last week, while Siya Kolisi returns to as the only chanage to the back-row.Stephen Donald replaces injured Seta Tamanivalu alongside Anton Lienert-Brown in the Chiefs midfield, with Sam McNicol preferred ahead of Toni Pulu on the right wing and Brad Weber back as the starting scrum-half.

With Liam Messam unavailable, Tom Sanders shifts over to No. 8 and is joined in the back-row by Taleni Seu and co-captain Sam Cane.UBET verdict: Stormers $2.25, Chiefs $1.65.?Another tricky match here. The Stormers have not played a NZ side all season which is pretty bizarre; but come into this game having won their last four at home. That was against the Kings, Force, Rebels and Cheetahs however; so poor opposition. The Chiefs can travel and win, and that is where the money has gone.Greg Growdens verdict:?Despite the long travel, Chiefs to get by Stormers in a nail biter.? ' ' '
