SIDELINED
Buffalo running back Fred Jackson and Minnesota’s Adrian Peterson each left their games with injuries. Jackson, who began the day leading the league in rushing, sat out much of the second half of the Bills’ 35-8 loss at Miami with a bruised right calf. X-rays were negative. Peterson left the Vikings’ 27-21 loss to Oakland early in the second quarter after a nifty 12-yard run. Peterson limped off the field and was taken by cart to the locker room for X-rays, which were negative. He was scheduled to have an MRI on Monday to make sure there was no more damage, but Peterson said he hoped to play next Sunday at Atlanta.
SPEAKING
“The way I’m playing right now, they need to go and cut me, because I’m definitely not worth what I’m getting.” - Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall after a 27-24 overtime loss to Dallas.
