MANKATO, Minn. -- Vikings running back Adrian Peterson suffered a slight hamstring pull while working out the week before the start of training camp, coach Mike Zimmer said Saturday.The NFLs leading rusher in 2015 has missed the teams first two practices, but Zimmer doesnt expect Petersons injury to be long-lasting.Peterson took the Vikings conditioning test Friday, a day after the rest of the roster did, and worked on the side with the teams athletic training staff for a second straight day Saturday.On Saturday morning, Peterson said he would be fine, and Zimmer said the light workload was more out of caution than anything else.He can do things; he just cant turn it all the way loose, Zimmer said. Were just being careful.As the Vikings ease Peterson into action, theyve had a chance to take a longer look at Jerick McKinnon, who posted 673 yards from scrimmage as a rookie and helped jump-start the teams offense late last season as a runner and a receiver.McKinnon, who posted 444 yards on 73 touches in 2015, lined up at wide receiver Saturday. He caught a deep ball in stride from backup quarterback Shaun Hill and high-fived fans as he strolled into the end zone.Its good we get to see some of these young backs. But [Peterson will] be out here fairly soon, I think, Zimmer said.The coach also said wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson, who injured his left shoulder while making a diving catch Friday, would be back on the field in a few days.

EUGENE, Ore. -- The last time Washington won at Autzen Stadium was in 2002, when the Huskies upset the No. 23 Ducks and then drew the ire of the fans by dancing on the O at midfield.After nearly a decade of dominance within the conference, Oregon (2-3, 0-2 Pac-12) is limping into Saturdays rivalry game against the No. 5 Huskies (5-0, 2-0) with a three-game losing streak, while Washington is rising in its third year under Chris Petersen.The Huskies also defeated Oregon back home in Seattle in 2003, but that was the last time theyve won in the series. The Ducks have since won 12 straight.Following Washingtons 44-6 victory over Stanford last week, fans at Husky Stadium chanted Beat Oregon!While ending the streak may be important to the fan base, it doesnt really change a thing when it comes to Washingtons preparation, Petersen said. He hasnt mentioned the streak to the players.We know its important. But all these games are important. I mean, I want our guys to just do what theyve been doing -- just preparing hard and staying focused on the right things and showing up on Saturday with great energy and playing as a team, Petersen said. You cant tell them, `OK, now were going to prepare really hard. Thats ludicrous.Oregon has totally different concerns at this point. Reeling from the uncharacteristic losses, Oregon may start freshman Justin Herbert at quarterback.Herbert has been competing in practice this week with Dakota Prukop, a graduate transfer who started in Oregons first five games.Prukop completed 14 of 22 passes for 132 yards and one interception in Oregons 51-33 loss at Washington State last weekend. The Ducks showed a spark on their final series when Herbert led the team on an 85-yard drive capped by his 4-yard run for a touchdown.Were going to put the best guy out there, at that and every other position, to help us win this game, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said.PURPLE HAZE: Washington has been the best in the country at getting to the quarterback. The Huskies have 21 sacks through five games, tied with Ohio for the most in the FBS. Eight of those sacks came last week against Stanford as the Huskies defensive line overpoowered the Cardinal on the line of scrimmage.ddddddddddddWhats even more impressive with Washingtons success getting to the quarterback has been its ability to do it without blitzing. Its been the Huskies front four -- sometimes five -- rushers that have recorded most of the quarterback sacks thus far.DYES RETURN: After a mysterious absence last weekend, Oregon freshman linebacker Troy Dye is expected to return against the Huskies. There were rumors about why he didnt travel to Pullman but Helfrich made a point this week of suggesting it was injury-related. Oregon doesnt disclose injuries as policy so its unclear exactly what was going on.Doesnt matter much anyway this week because hes back. Dye has been a bright spot on the Ducks defense, which has struggled this season.Hes just one of those guys that works extremely hard every rep of practice, whether its defense or special teams, Helfrich said. Thats absolutely contagious. We need more guys like that.DAWG SLED: Whether its Myles Gaskin or Lavon Coleman, Washington is getting excellent production from its running backs.After Coleman broke out with 181 yards against Arizona two weeks ago, it was Gaskins turn to show off with 100 yards rushing and two touchdowns against Stanford. Coleman did his part as well, rushing for 74 yards and a score, and the Huskies finished with 214 yards on the ground against the Cardinal.Thats not good news for Oregon. The Ducks are allowing 210 yards per game on the ground, including 280 yards rushing and six touchdowns to pass-happy Washington State last week.GETTING CLOSER?: Last season the Ducks beat Washington 26-20 in Seattle, which was the closet margin of victory in the 12-game winning streak.WAIT, WHAT?: Oregon will wear navy blue uniforms on Saturday. Yep, you heard that right: navy with yellow accents, ala Michigan and Cal. The throw-way-back uniforms pay homage to the Webfoots team that won the 1916 Rose Bowl. The helmets feature the Oregon state flag.---AP Sports Writer Tim Booth contributed to this report. ' ' '
