How the turf at MetLife may have contributed to a Vikings injury, plus the Lynx face top teams

The Minnesota Vikings named Kyler Murray starting quarterback for the upcoming season. They played their first pre-season game against the New York Giants this weekend and won 13-10.

But it came with the loss of a veteran defender. Jamal Adams tore his right quadriceps tendon during the game. And some are blaming the turf at MetLife Stadium in New York.

Plus, the Minnesota Lynx beat the No. 3 Las Vegas Aces and are gearing up to play the No. 2 Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.

Minnesota Now sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson have those sports headlines plus other Minnesota sports news.
