Vikings’ Wentz

out for season

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have placed quarterback Carson Wentz on injured reserve. Wentz will have season-ending surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder, according to a person with knowledge of the plans. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Vikings had not yet announced those details.

Wentz played through the injury for 2 1/2 games. He made five starts in place of J.J. McCarthy, who’s recovering from a high ankle sprain. McCarthy was already on track to return this week.

Adrian Peterson

faces charges

SUGAR LAND, Texas (AP) — Authorities say that former NFL running back Adrian Peterson remains jailed after being arrested in a Houston suburb on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon.

Sugar Land Police Department spokeswoman Alicia Alaniz says Peterson was taken into custody Sunday morning. He remained in the Fort Bend County Jail on Monday.

It’s the second DWI arrest in seven months for the 2012 NFL MVP and three-time league rushing champion. The 40-year-old Peterson was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Minneapolis in April. The Texas native spent the first 10 years of his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings.

Orioles hire

Craig Albernaz

(AP) — The Baltimore Orioles have hired Craig Albernaz as their manager. Albernaz, who turns 43 on Thursday, was previously an associate manager with the Cleveland Guardians. He was promoted to that role after serving as bench coach in 2024.

Albernaz takes over a Baltimore team that still has plenty of potential despite sliding to 75 wins this year and a last-place finish in the AL East. The Orioles fired manager Brandon Hyde in May, and Tony Mansolino ran the team on an interim basis the rest of the way. Baltimore announced the move Monday.

Raiders legend

Atkinson dies

(AP) — George Atkinson, a hard-hitting former Raiders safety who struck fear in the opposition, has died. He was 78.

The Raiders said Atkinson’s family informed the team of his death on Monday. The team said he died in Georgia without revealing a cause of death.

Atkinson was a key part of the Raiders’ “Soul Patrol” secondary in the 1970s, helping them win their first Super Bowl. Atkinson played 144 games, mostly with the Raiders, and was known for his physical play. He remained connected to the organization until his death.

Arch Manning

in protocol

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said quarterback Arch Manning is in concussion protocol and did not practice Monday ahead of the No. 20 Longhorns’ game against No. 9 Vanderbilt.

Sarkisian says the team will get an update on Manning’s injury later in the week. Manning was injured at the start of overtime of Texas’ comeback win over Mississippi State. If Manning can’t play, Texas will start graduate transfer Matthew Caldwell against Vanderbilt. He came off the bench to throw the winning touchdown pass against Mississippi State on his only pass attempt of the game.

Gambling probe

tests Billups

DETROIT (AP) — Chauncey Billups earned a spot in the Basketball Hall of Fame a year ago, recognizing his resilience and clutch play in a championship-winning NBA career.

His ability to bounce back and make all the right moves is being put to a different test by a gambling scandal. Billups was one of more than 30 people arrested last week for what federal law enforcement officials described as their involvement in various illicit gambling activities.

The coach was alleged to have participated in a conspiracy to fix high-stakes poker games with ties to three Mafia families. His attorney denied the allegations.
