MINNEAPOLIS -- Amir Coffey scored all 19 of his points in the second half, after
Akeem Springs made three 3-pointers over the final 5 minutes of the first half
to finish with 11 points and help Minnesota pull away for an 85-71 victory over
Arkansas on Tuesday night.
Marshawn Lynch Youth Jersey .Nate Mason had
13 points and seven assists, Eric Curry made all eight of his free-throw
attempts to score 12 points and Reggie Lynch and Jordan Murphy each added 10
points for the Gophers (5-0), who havent won five straight games to start a
season in three years.Dusty Hannahs scored 20 points and Moses Kingsley had 10
points and 10 rebounds for the Razorbacks (3-1), whose first road trip of the
season was rough. They didnt make a 3-pointer until Hannahs hit one at the
4-minute mark and finished 1 for 8 after entering the game 24 for 54 from behind
the arc (44.9 percent).Their 21 turnovers were their most since March 21, 2015,
an NCAA tournament loss to North Carolina, and they had only six fast-break
points after tallying 51 over the first three games. The Gophers had a 26-9 edge
in points off turnovers.The freshman Coffey had 30 points on Friday against St.
Johns and after a quiet first half got the crowd going with an array of
fast-break dunks and slick layups plus a 3-pointer that gave the Gophers a 67-46
lead to match their largest of the game.The Gophers started slowly, but the
Razorbacks missed nine of their first 10 shots from the floor and were outscored
25-6 over a stretch of more than 10 minutes. Springs swished two more 3-pointers
after that run in the closing minutes of the first half, and the Gophers led by
at least 14 points for the rest of the game.This was one of those games for the
Gophers. Mason hit the backboard with an errant baseline jumper, but grabbed his
own rebound off the ricochet and fired an overhead pass to Ahmad Gilbert on the
opposite wing for a 3-pointer and a 58-40 lead.HEY, WE PLAYED THEM TOOBoth
Arkansas and Minnesota have already beaten Texas-Arlington, the team picked to

some significant improvements before a Dec. 17 game against No. 22
Texas.Minnesota: With Springs, a senior and graduate transfer from Milwaukee,
and Lynch, a junior and transfer from Illinois State who sat out last season per
NCAA rule, the Gophers have injected an instant dose of experience in a team

. Their 38th instalment is arguably their biggest fight card to date, including
three-title fights and a main event which was selected by the fans. The
promotion boasts 14-straight years of business and is operated by MFC president
Mark Pavelich, who is often overlooked in this country for the foundation hes
established for MMA in Canada. NFL Nation reporters assess the?biggest injuries
across the league for Week 1.NFC East | NFC North | NFC South | NFC West AFC
East | AFC North| AFC South | AFC WestNFC EASTDallas CowboysLinebacker Sean Lee
was held out of practice last week because of soreness in his surgically
repaired left knee, but the time off was designed to have him ready for this
week. He played just 29 snaps in the preseason but he said he feels ready to go,
and the Cowboys will need Lee to be at his best. He is their best playmaker
defensively and knows how to get the rest of the defense in the right spots,
which is a must against a veteran quarterback like Eli Manning. In two games
against New York last season, Lee?had 18 tackles. -- Todd ArcherNew York
GiantsRookie free safety Darian Thompson missed the previous two weeks with a
shoulder injury, but he practiced Wednesday in a limited capacity. Thompson is
wearing a harness and is expected to play -- and likely start -- Sunday against
the Cowboys. The key is to see how he does in Thursdays fully padded practice.
If Thompson cant play, Nat Berhe has been taking first-team reps in his place.
Overall, the Giants are relatively healthy. All 53 players on their active
roster practiced Wednesday and are expected to play in the opener. The Giants
also didnt lose a projected starter to injury this spring or summer. -- Jordan
RaananPhiladelphia EaglesRookie quarterback Carson Wentz has been cleared for
action after sitting out most of the preseason with a hairline rib fracture.
Coach Doug Pederson announced that every Eagles player practiced Wednesday,
including defensive end Vinny Curry, who was eased in after missing some time
with a knee injury. Wide receiver?Jordan Matthews missed the preseason with a
knee injury of his own, but he is expected to be full go. The Eagles are in good
health overall heading into Week 1. -- Tim McManusWashington RedskinsRunning
back Matt Jones was full go in practice Wednesday and didnt need to wear a
yellow no-contact jersey like he had to on Monday. The expectation remains that
Jones will play Monday vs. Pittsburgh after missing two weeks of practice with a
sprained left shoulder. Rookie wide receiver Josh Doctson practiced Monday, but
he was limited Wednesday and its uncertain if hell play against the Steelers as
he returns from Achilles tendonitis. -- John KeimNFC NORTHChicago BearsThe
primary concern is guard Kyle Longs (shoulder) health, but he practiced on
Monday and Wednesday and looks on track to play against the Texans. Of course,
the great unknown is how Longs shoulder reacts when faced with live contact.
Cornerback Tracy Porter passed the NFLs concussion protocol and pronounced
himself good to go for Week 1, but Kyle Fullers status is more difficult to
predict. Fuller is doing some work at practice, but is only a couple weeks
removed from arthroscopic knee surgery. -- Jeff DickersonDetroit LionsThe Lions
are almost fully healthy heading into their season opener against Indianapolis.
While tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) has been a question mark over the past few
weeks, he took part in practice Monday and Wednesday. This is a good sign hell
be available after not playing at all in the preseason. The Lions need him, too,
because their tight end depth after him is questionable. -- Michael
RothsteinGreen Bay PackersWide receiver?Jordy Nelson isnt even on the injury
report this week, so how can he be an injury question? Well, it has been nearly
13 months since he has been on a game field, and that was when he tore the ACL
in his right knee at Pittsburgh. Will the 31-year-old be able to return to his
Pro Bowl form from 2014? He says there are no limitations on his knee, and coach
Mike McCarthy said Nelson will be full bore for the opener in Jacksonville. But
considering Nelson didnt play a single snap in a preseason game this year, its
hard to know what impact the injury will have on him. -- Rob DemovskyMinnesota
VikingsAs they break in a new starting quarterback on Sunday, the Vikings will
be monitoring several ailments to players who could help Shaun Hill or Sam
Bradford produce on Sunday. Wide receiver Charles Johnson, who didnt practice
Monday,?was a limited participant on Wednesday with a quadriceps injury, though
Johnson said he expects to play Sunday. Running back Jerick McKinnon was also
limited with a foot injury; if hes healthy Sunday, hed give the Vikings another
option on high-percentage passes for their new quarterback. -- Ben GoesslingNFC
SOUTHAtlanta FalconsWide receiver?Julio Jones?(ankle) was supposed to return to
full participation in practice Wednesday, but he was instead limited once again.
Falcons coach Dan Quinn still has expressed little concern about Jones
availability for Sundays season opener against Tampa Bay. In fact, Quinn said
Jones should return to full practice Thursday. Jones looked better running
routes and making cuts during the first part of Wednesdays practice. Well see if
he has his full explosion come Sunday. -- Vaughn McClureCarolina PanthersThe
only player in question is backup safety Dean Marlowe, still coming back from a
bad hamstring injury that sidelined him for three weeks. The Panthers will carry
Marcus Ball?to Denver as an emergency safety, but theyre happy with the
three-man rotation they have in Kurt Coleman, Tre Boston and Colin Jones. Tight
end Greg Olsen dealt with back spasms in the preseason, but he is good to go. --
David NewtonNew Orleans SaintsLeft tackle Terron Armstead was limited in
practice Wednesday with knee and quad injuries -- which is a good sign that he
will play Sunday against the Raiders. Thats huge for the Saints, considering
Armstead is one of the best young tackles in the NFL and is vital to helping
them fix the O-line issues that plagued them this preseason. Its also huge since
the Saints are about to face one of the NFLs most dynamic pass-rushers in Khalil
Mack. Mack normally lines up against the right tackle, but he moves around some.
And when Armstead isnt facing Mack, the Saints would like to be able to leave
him one-on-one against Raiders outside linebacker Bruce Irvin. -- Mike
TriplettTampa Bay BuccaneersThe biggest injury question mark in training camp
was, When will J.R. Sweezy and Louis Murphy be back? Both start the season on
the physically unable to perform list, so those questions have been?answered.
After that, the only player with real concerns for Sunday is tight end Luke
Stocker, who happens to be the teams best run blocker. He missed practice
Wednesday with a back injury. He also missed the final two preseason games.
Thankfully for the Bucs, theyre carrying five tight ends on the active roster
(but no fullbacks) so if Stocker misses this week, it wouldnt be a crushing
blow. -- Jenna LaineNFC WESTArizona CardinalsThe two players most in question of
playing Sunday night are running back?Stepfan Taylor (bruised knee) and outside
linebacker?Kareem Martin (MCL), who both missed practice on Tuesday and
Wednesday. Linebacker Lamar Louis joined them on the sideline Wednesday after
tweaking his knee in Tuesdays practice. If all three miss Sundays game, Arizonas
special teams will?be affected as they all have significant roles. Safety Tyrann
Mathieu, who tore his ACL in Week 15 last season, was not on the injury report
and is expected to play Sunday night. -- Josh WeinfussLos Angeles RamsThe
injuries to wide receiver Pharoh Cooper and cornerback E.J. Gaines could have a
major impact on the Rams season. Cooper (shoulder) and Gaines (quad) each hurt
themselves in Week 3 of the preseason and both could miss the Week 1 opener. How
much longer theyre gone will be key. Cooper, drafted in the fourth round, had
already cemented himself as the No. 3 receiver. Gaines had a solid rookie season
in 2014 but spent all of 2015 recovering from foot surgery. Now he is the No. 2
cornerback opposite Trumaine Johnson. The Rams secondary already lost enough
over the offseason, with Rodney McLeod now with the Eagles and Janoris Jenkins
joining the Giants. Gaines needs to stay healthy. -- Alden GonzalezSan Francisco
49ers49ers running back?Carlos Hyde is still working his way back from a
concussion, but he took the next step Wednesday when he participated in practice
while wearing a blue no-contact jersey. He still has to pass a simulated contact
test in order to be cleared to play, but coach Chip Kelly and offensive
coordinator Curtis Modkins have expressed confidence that Hyde will be ready to
play Monday night against the Rams. -- Nick WagonerSeattle SeahawksThe key
player to keep an eye on is Thomas Rawls?(ankle). The running back?played two
snaps in the preseason, and coachh Pete Carroll has indicated that the team will
ease him in.
David Sharpe Womens Jersey. Asked if Rawls
faces any limitations, Carroll said, Just in the amount of plays. Its the second
preseason game for him if you look at it that way, and were trying to take care
of him as weve said all along in every way that we can. So were just going to
watch and see how he does and how he handles it. Thats all. Its just to see how
he handles it. That will be the only restriction is how hes taking the rigors of
the game. Meanwhile, tight end?Jimmy Graham (ruptured patellar tendon) could be
a game-time decision. Hes practicing fully but did not see any snaps in the
preseason. -- Sheil KapadiaAFC EASTBuffalo BillsHows this for something
different? The Bills are nearly fully healthy entering Sundays game in
Baltimore. Reserve safety Colt Anderson (foot) and cornerback Kevon Seymour
(hamstring) are likely to be questionable for the game, but otherwise coach Rex
Ryans decision to sit most of his starters in the final two preseason games has
paid off. A year ago, running back?LeSean McCoy (hamstring) and wide
receiver?Sammy Watkins (hamstring) were dealing with injuries entering the
opening weekend.?-- Mike RodakMiami DolphinsCenter Mike Pouncey injured his left
hip in the second preseason game, and his status is up in the air for Sundays
opener against the Seahawks. Coach Adam Gase said Pounceys status will be
evaluated up until the weekend, but Pouncey has been out during practices so far
this week. His potential absence greatly impacts Miamis rushing attack against
Seattles talented front seven. -- James WalkerNew England PatriotsTight end Rob
Gronkowski is not yet 100 percent, as he has been limited in practice with a
hamstring injury. How that affects Gronkowski in the season opener bears
watching. Meanwhile, Cardinals coach Bruce Arians is preparing to see a heavy
dose of Gronkowski and Martellus Bennett regardless, as he said Wednesday that
he expects the Patriots to be in their two-tight end package about 70 percent of
the time -- Mike ReissNew York JetsMiddle linebacker David Harris, who has
returned to practice on a limited basis after bruising his right shoulder in the
third preseason game, remains a question mark for Week 1, according to coach
Todd Bowles. Still, it would be an upset if Harris doesnt play. He hasnt missed
a game since 2008. Harris is vital because hes an every-down linebacker who
essentially is the quarterback of the defense. The Jets would be out of sorts
without him, but bet on him being in the lineup. -- Rich CiminiAFC
NORTHBaltimore RavensOutside?linebacker Elvis Dumervil said he will not play in
the season opener against the Bills. Dumervil acknowledged he had a minor
setback in his recovery from an offseason procedure on his foot. He was the only
Ravens starter who was not practicing Wednesday. Albert McClellan is expected to
replace Dumervil and start in his first game since 2012. ZaDarius Smith and Matt
Judon will fill in for Dumervil as the other edge rusher opposite Terrell Suggs.
Its a little disappointing, Dumervil said, but sometimes youve just got to wait
your turn and when the opportunity presents itself, take full advantage. Hes
unsure about his status for the Week 2 game at Cleveland. -- Jamison
HensleyCincinnati BengalsPro Bowl tight end Tyler Eifert hasnt practiced the
entire offseason, and that doesnt look like its going to change anytime soon.
Eifert is still recovering from an ankle injury and his timetable to return is
unknown. I dont anticipate him taking any team reps this week, coach Marvin
Lewis said Monday. -- Katherine TerrellCleveland BrownsThe Browns are an
extremely healthy team. The only player not working was defensive back?Marcus
Burley, who was picked up on waivers on Sunday. The Browns have zero questions
about the health of their top players. -- Pat McManamonPittsburgh SteelersThe
Steelers have several key linemen fighting through injuries with hopes of
playing Week 1. Defensive end Cam Heyward (high ankle sprain) says he will be
ready, and after multiple ankle sprains in his career, hes accustomed to the
pain management. Expect him to play, assuming the bruising subsides. Right
tackle Marcus Gilbert (hyperextended elbow) practiced Wednesday, which is a good
sign. The biggest question mark is new starting nose tackle Javon Hargrave, who
hurt his leg in Mondays practice session. Hes considered day-to-day and isnt
sure when hell be ready. -- Jeremy FowlerAFC SOUTHHouston TexansDefensive end
J.J. Watt has practiced twice this week, and he is expected to play in the
season opener against the Bears. Watt said he feels like he can do anything and
everything that he is asked to do, and he feels no limitations whatsoever
despite missing all of training camp after having back surgery in late July.
Left tackle Duane Brown will not play against the Bears, but right tackle Derek
Newton appears to have recovered from a hamstring injury and was a?full
participant?in practice on Wednesday. Rookie wide receiver Will Fuller was a
surprise addition to the injury report as a limited participant with a hamstring
injury. -- Sarah BarshopIndianapolis ColtsThe Colts caused warning flags to go
up when they listed quarterback Andrew Luck as being limited in practice on
their injury report Wednesday. The decision to list Luck was nothing more than
making sure hes fresh for Sundays game against the Lions, according to a source.
But concern will likely arise every week Luck is put on the injury list because
he missed nine games last season with an assortment of injuries, and because the
Colts gave him a $140 million contract during the offseason. -- Mike
WellsJacksonville JaguarsThe Jaguars are remarkably healthy heading into the
season. The only minor concern is nose tackle Roy Miller, who has dealt with
chronic knee soreness over the past several seasons, but the Jaguars have been
careful in terms of giving him a day off each week to manage it. Hes the key to
the Jaguars run defense because he occupies blockers to keep middle linebacker
Paul Posluszny clean. -- Mike DiRoccoTennessee TitansThe Titans have only one
injury concern heading into their opener against Minnesota. Kendall Wright,
their top slot receiver, is out with a hamstring injury. That means Harry
Douglas will operate as the teams third receiver. Coach Mike Mularkey said theyd
also have Marc Mariani, Andre Johnson and Rishard Matthews ready to work inside
if needed. There is no timetable for Wright, though hes scheduled for another
MRI. -- Paul KuharskyAFC WESTDenver BroncosWide receiver Bennie Fowler will miss
Thursday nights game because of an elbow injury he suffered in the preseason
opener in Chicago. Fowler had been the No. 3 receiver in camp, so his absence
means more work for Cody Latimer. It will also likely mean Emmanuel Sanders
works out of the slot at times since Fowler is the guy who had worked the slot
the most before his injury. Fowler had hoped to be ready for the opener, but he
didnt practice this week. -- Jeff LegwoldKansas City ChiefsThe Chiefs are
preparing to play without running back Jamaal Charles on Sunday. Thats nothing
new, as they played most of 2015 without him as well. Spencer Ware, Charcandrick
West and perhaps Knile Davis will share the featured back role. The Chiefs are
expecting outside linebacker Tamba Hali to play, though he will probably have
less than a full-time role. When hes in the lineup, its important that Hali play
well. With Justin Houston out with his own rehab from knee surgery, Hali is the
Chiefs most accomplished pass-rusher. -- Adam TeicherOakland RaidersThe Raiders
are ridiculously healthy coming out of the preseason. Only backup offensive
lineman Austin Howard, who was competing for the starting right tackle position
with Menelik Watson, missed practice on Wednesday. Howard rolled his right ankle
in the Raiders exhibition finale last Thursday. And while he is a
second-stringer, he does bring quality depth to both tackle positions. Its
early, but if he is unable to suit up Sunday at New Orleans, Matt McCants would
likely be his replacement. -- Paul GutierrezSan Diego ChargersDefensive end Joey
Bosa participated in just one practice in a helmet, jersey and shorts since he
signed a four-year rookie contract last week. Sidelined with an apparent left
leg injury, the Ohio State product likely will remain on the NFLs exempt list
through the weekend. He is doubtful to play in San Diegos season opener on the
road against the Chiefs. -- Eric D. Williams
