MINNEAPOLIS -- After a 34-6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts?on Sunday pushed the Minnesota Vikings to the brink of playoff elimination, running back Adrian Peterson said he plans to play against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Saturday.Im planning to go, he said. Thats my mindset going forward.Peterson did not address what he would do if the Vikings are eliminated from playoff contention by their next home game, on Jan. 1 against the Chicago Bears.Im not going to go jump ahead to two weeks, Peterson said. Im going to just look forward to this week.When he was asked whether hed play against the Packers if the Vikings are eliminated from the playoff race before the game, Peterson said, I just said it. Should I answer it a different way?The running back returned from a torn meniscus on Sunday against the Colts, less than three months after hed been injured against the Packers on Sept. 18. He said he felt good enough to come out and play on Sunday, but his return left Peterson with few options to assert himself. The running back gained just 22 yards on six carries in the loss, fumbling at the end of a 13-yard carry in the second quarter. He carried the ball just twice in the second half.It was tough, he said. You look at the scoreboard, down by a couple touchdowns, and the run game is kind of irrelevant at that point. Of course, I dont like being on the sideline, but I have faith in [fellow RBs]?Matt [Asiata] and Jerick [McKinnon]. I just did not imagine it going this way today.Petersons fumble came at the end of his longest carry of the season, when Colts safety?Mike Adams forced the ball out as the running back was going down.I remember pushing with my left arm, and as I went down the ball got loose, Peterson said. I dont know if someone hit it out, but it was a poor job by me with ball security.Coach Mike Zimmer said on Sunday he thought Peterson was 100 percent healthy. Asked for his thoughts on Petersons day, Zimmer said, He looked fine. Fumbled the ball.Sources told ESPN last month that Peterson was shooting to return against the Colts or Packers. He returned to practice this week, saying he planned to come back for the Green Bay game, but Peterson and the Vikings pushed forward the timetable after the running back had a solid week of practice.Now Peterson, who said earlier this month it would be pointless to return this season if the Vikings werent in the playoff race, will have to hope for a scenario that keeps the Vikings hopes alive as they head to Lambeau Field on Saturday.I did not imagine that happening [after a 5-0 start], he said. I know how it can go throughout the season; it can switch on you. Unfortunately, that is what has happened to us, but we are just going to continue to fight. There is still opportunity that I am holding on to.Jahlani Tavai Womens Jersey . P.A. Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Austin Bryant Youth Jersey ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter.Cricket South Africa chief executive Haroon Lorgat has called on the ICC to clarify the rules around polishing the ball, particularly with regard to what constitutes an artificial substance, after South Africas captain Faf du Plessis was found guilty of ball tampering.A decision has not yet been made on whether du Plessis will appeal the verdict, which resulted in him being fined his entire match fee from the Hobart Test but cleared to play in Adelaide this week. During the Hobart Test, du Plessis shined the ball with saliva while he had a confectionery item in his mouth, which the ICC determined was in contravention of Law 42, which allows players to polish the ball provided no artificial substance is used.At this stage weve advised Faf to reserve his position with regard to the match referees finding and wait for the full reasons of his decision before deciding his next step, Lorgat said in Adelaide on Wednesday. Very understable, Faf is obviously disappointed by the decision and I can fully understand.In fairness to both him and the ICC, this is an unprecedented case involving unique issues of policy, science and performance that need to be carefully considered at the highest levels of the game. There are also issues relating to fair and just process, interpretation of the rules, and importantly, the consistent application of the Code of Conduct that needs to be considered.CSA believes that the Laws of the game do not currently define the term artificial substance, leaving room for inconsistent application of the rules.ddddddddddddFor instance, the Laws currently prevent the use of artificial substances to polish the ball, yet artificial cotton fibres from playing kit can be used to shine the ball.Players also regularly chew gum when applying saliva to the ball, or ingest sugary drinks and sweets during short breaks in play before shining the ball. No action is taken in such circumstances by the umpires.Test match cricket is a competitive sport at the highest level and players and fans deserve certainty around these issues. Integrity and consistent application of the rules are important for everyone. Well consult with our legal teams. We want to engage with the ICC in a constructive matter, and we want to deal with this properly.The Code of Conduct charge was laid by ICC chief executive David Richardson, who is also a qualified lawyer. On Wednesday, Richardson said on Australian television that the ICC drew the line because du Plessis actions were pretty obvious.Probably in this case in particular, we drew the line, Richardson told the Nine Network. We said, we need to charge because in our eyes anyway it was pretty obvious that he was using the residue from the sweet directly on the ball.I think the bottom line is if you want to change the condition of the ball by polishing it, in other words improving it, keeping it, retaining its condition, do so, but dont use any artificial substance.
