EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer has left open the possibility of some preseason playing time for running back Adrian Peterson.Zimmer said Monday he has not decided whether or not to put Peterson on the field in an exhibition game for the first time in five years. Zimmer said hed let Peterson play if he wants to, but the coach and the player have not discussed the situation recently.The Vikings play Thursday at Seattle. The natural opportunity for a Peterson cameo would be against San Diego Aug. 28, the teams first game at U.S. Bank Stadium. Zimmer said after last season that he probably made a mistake by not playing Peterson in any exhibitions, when asked about his role in the passing game.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Jerseys USA . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.

While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Derrick Morgan is having the best season in his seventh year in the NFL, while Brian Orakpo on the other side of Tennessees defensive line is just two sacks shy of matching his career high.Together, the Titans linebackers are taking down quarterbacks as good as any duo in the NFL.Morgan has eight sacks, while Orakpo has nine for a total of 17. Only Cliff Avril (10) and Frank Clark (7+) of Seattle have more combined sacks, and thats by just a half sack.Those two guys right there are game-changers, and when those two are rolling theres nobody out there that can stop them, Titans defensive lineman Jurrell Casey said.So its really hard for an offensive line to contain either one of them. And when you get guys like that rushing off the edge, it makes the game a lot easier for the guys in the middle and for the secondary, makes the game 10 times easier for them.Morgan, the Titans first-round pick in 2010 out of Georgia Tech, and Orakpo now find themselves in a race to see who can become the first Tennessee player to pile up double-digit sacks since Casey had 10+ in 2013.Thats any edge defenders goal is to get to double digits, Morgan said. Thatd be something special if we were both able to get to double digits and finish off the year strong.Orakpo had 11 sacks as a rookie with Washington in 2011 and had 10 in 2013 also with the Redskins. This already marks his best season since then, and Orakpo already has 32 quarterback pressures with five games left -- five shy of what he totaled all of last season.Padding the sack level to 10 or higher is much more special since the quarterback winds up on the ground.Oh, thatd be huge not only for me and him because of how hard we work together since day one, but for this franchise and organization. Orakpo said. I love working with the guy. We both brinng it.dddddddddddd We both complement each other very well.The Titans (5-6), who visit Chicago (2-8) on Sunday, havent had this kind of production from a defensive duo since 2010 when Jason Babin (12+) and Dave Ball (seven) combined for 19+ sacks.Defensive end Jevon Kearse (14+) and linebacker Eddie Robinson (six) combined for 20+ sacks in 1999 when this franchise reached its lone Super Bowl.Two Titans each with double-digit sacks? That would be a first since 1999 when this franchise was renamed the Titans.Morgans production is special to the linebacker who has fought injuries since being drafted, playing a full 16 games only in 2012 and 2014.He had 6+ sacks in each of those seasons, limited by not having a strong pass rush threat on the other side. He said he thanks God for his success, especially the teammates around him.This is what the Titans envisioned when they signed Orakpo in March 2015 to a four-year deal and brought back Morgan with a four-year deal as well.I think youve seen the tale of two years, Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. One year you dont, and then one year you do. You see really a force from both sides.Youre seeing other guys getting involved with the pressure. Its evident when you can have two edge rushers that are having success, one can play off the other. ... Theyre both having success because of each other.Game notes LT Taylor Lewan (left knee) was limited in practice. TE Phillip Supernaw (concussion protocol) did not practice. RB DeMarco Murray (toe on right foot) and CB Brice McCain (knee) practiced fully.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .---Follow Teresa M.
