“So we’re trying to take some plays off of him”.

Left tackle Matt Kalil was ruled out of Sunday’s game against San Diego at U.S. Bank Stadium with an apparent leg injury. “That’s one of the best two-minute drives I remember us having since we’ve been together over the last three years”. After a public open house, an worldwide soccer exhibition and a couple of concerts, from country singer Luke Bryan to hard-rocking Metallica, it’s finally time for football under the translucent roof.
“In a two-minute situation, you have to make those kinds of plays because you don’t have time to dink-and-dunk the ball down the field”, Rudolph said.
Minnesota has no issues at quarterback or running back, Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson have both of those positions locked up.
“He’s a young back who had some injuries past year and turned it over a few times”. Bridgewater sat out last week’s preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks with what was described as minor shoulder soreness.
One weapon they will not have on defense is Joey Bosa, the team’s 2016 first round draft pick. Rookies Jayron Kearse and Mackensie Alexander picked off Chargers third-stringer Mike Bercovici, who’s competing with Zach Mettenberger for a roster spot. Joey Bosa continues to hold out during contract negotiations, and the Chargers took their last offer in the past week. This may be the most at a home game so far, but the capacity in the new, larger stadium is 73,000.
Gordon finished with four carries for 51 rushing yards on the day.
Cincinnati at Jacksonville, 8 p.m. He connected with first-round pick Will Fuller on a 26-yard touchdown pass that extended Houston’s lead to 24-10 before sitting down with about three minutes left in the first half. He has a history of being a bystander during the preseason schedule, though it should have little effect on him when the real game start. People may forget that the first play was a run. “That’s the biggest difference”.
That could mean an opportunity for 2015 starting right tackle T.J. Clemmings to get some first-team work on the left side.
It is an important tradition that the Vikings have honored since 1961, which started at the old Metropolitan stadium; there, fans were in the parking lot before the games.
When it was starters vs. starters, the Vikings looked.

Clemmings was put in a hard spot last season when Phil Loadholt ruptured his Achilles’ early in the preseason and the rookie fourth-round pick had to take over as the starter.
