EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Brad Daugherty Jersey . -- Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said Wednesday he envisions being able to return in 2016 -- but he put a caveat on his comeback.The 2015 NFL rushing leader, who had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee on Sept. 22, said he wont return this season if the Vikings are out of playoff contention, adding it would be pointless to play if the team isnt capable of reaching the postseason.The Vikings, who have lost six of their past seven games after a 5-0 start, would likely need to win their final four games and get some help to reach the postseason. Peterson said he would be the one making the decision about whether he returns this season, but didnt say how many losses would lead him to decide to shut it down, adding hed play it by ear.Im thinking that were going to make the playoffs, so thats what Im keeping my mindset on, Peterson said. So, if thats not the case a week or two from now, we can settle back around.Peterson established his reputation as a quick healer when he returned from a torn ACL in nine months to win league MVP honors in 2012, and he appears to be ahead of the curve again, with a chance to return in three months from an operation that typically keeps players out for four to six months. The running back is able to cut and run on a field, and Peterson said he feels back to where he was when he got hurt against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.Coach Mike Zimmer has declined on several occasions to discuss a timetable for Petersons return but said on Wednesday that Petersons health -- not any other determining factors -- would dictate when hed return.The guys that are out here, Im trying to coach the best I can, Zimmer said. If he comes out, Ill try to coach him the best I can, whenever that is. John Henson Cavaliers Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. Ante Zizic Jersey .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference. His tenure as the GM in Vancouver was all too brief. Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. http:///...on-cavaliers-jersey/ . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Three weeks of highs, heart-stoppers and a few heartaches too. Rio had it all, and even more. The following, in no particular order, have been a few of those moments that will keep finding their way back in my bank of memories.The bronzeAfter more than a week of competitions, India still hadnt registered their presence on the medals tally. There had been several near misses and a sense of desperation was palpable. The drought was ended in the most unexpected fashion by this feisty wrestler from Rohtak, Sakshi Malik. In her bronze medal play-off, she trailed her opponent from Kyrgyzstan by 5 points, but with three minutes still to go in the bout, she fought back in spectacular fashion- Sakshi first overturned the deficit and then took the lead to become the first Indian female wrestler to win an Olympic medal. She said later that she was confident that if she lasted the duration of the bout, she would return with a medal.The ProdunovaGymnastics is one of the most followed sports at an Olympics and Dipa Karmakars presence among an elite field itself was a huge moment for Indian sport. Having made the cut for the eight woman final by the skin of her teeth, Dipa produced a compelling performance in front of a packed audience on the day. She was the sixth gymnast to perform her two vaults, and by performing her now patented Produova as the second vault, Dipa produced a scintillating passage. Her scores catapulted her to second spot raising hopes of a most unlikely medal, but she was surpassed by the last two gymnasts in the field. Despite missing out, she lifted the sagging spirits of Indian sports followers and became an instant rage back home, though when asked if she realized how much her feat had resonated in the country, she simply smiled and said, No.The BoltThe arrival of Usain Bolt into the stadium is an occasion in itself. It is as if the thousands of people inside have been eagerly anticipating only that audience. In Rio, the big question was if he will be displaced as the king of sprint. A lot of punditry was doing the rounds about how he was ripe for the taking. But when it came to the actual running of the races, the Jamaican showed just why he was infinitely superior to the field. In the 100m, he recovered from a shaky start to run down American Justin Gatlin with a spectacular burst. In the 200m, he decimated the field, crossing the finish line well ahead of the chasing pack. And then, he bossed the anchor leg of the 4x100m relay to complete a Three-peat at the Olympics. He made the crrowd a part of every celebration, energizing them with the signature Bolt victory display and walking around the stadium to acknowledge their presence. Ante Zizic Cavaliers Jersey. He remains the most compelling athlete on the planet.The silver liningWatching P V Sindhu in action over the course of the week was to watch an athlete on rapid ascendancy. In a remarkably assured run, Sindhu won three consecutive matches against higher ranked opponents without losing a single game. Her movements around court was markedly better than before and her shot making had more penetration as well as deception. With coach and mentor Gopichand in her corner at all times, Sindhu flowered in the pressure and against the World No.1 Carolina Marin in the final, put in a commendable performance. Though she was beaten in a three-game encounter, Sindhu signaled her arrival as a player who is near certain to make a surge up the rankings. Once she had the silver medal around her neck, all Sindhu wanted was to have a little bit of junk food that Gopichand had prohibited over the last couple of months.The redemptionAt one of the iconic venues in the sporting world, it appeared an entire nation had focused its eyes on the outcome of this match. Football runs in the bloodstream of Brazilians and being there on the night they fronted up to Germany for the gold medal was as clear a demonstration of that as one could hope to see. From an hour before kick off, the arena throbbed with sound, music and anticipation in a way that some of the hurt of their embarrassing loss in the 2014 World Cup semifinal to the same opponents could be erased.Neymar was the central figure of the night and once the game began, it was as if you were transported to an alternative universe. The fans urged their team on with whistles, drum beats and co-ordinated chants. The Germans stayed in the contest despite conceding the lead and their efforts were rewarded with a second half equaliser. It was in the penalty shootout that the arena exploded with nervous tension. At 4-4, with Nils Petersen missing his penalty, Neymar stepped up and scripted the perfect fairytale finish as the talisman of the team. The subsequent celebrations shook the foundations of the Maracana Stadium with delirious fans hugging, jumping and weeping in sheer ecstasy. For the neutral, it was an unforgettable experience - a reminder of the power of sport to unite a people. ' ' '
