Even though the Minnesota Vikings have rolled to a 5-0 record, they will use their bye week to possibly add an offensive lineman, and former Pro Bowl tackle Jake Long is among the candidates, according to sources.Vikings right tackle Andre Smith was inactive Sunday with what had been listed as an elbow injury, but sources say? there is concern about a related biceps injury. Smith has denied an NFL Network report that his injury is serious enough for him to be a candidate for injured reserve. The team already has lost left tackle Matt Kalil to hip surgery.The Vikings will work out other linemen, but Long is the most prominent and has some support on the staff if he can prove he is physically stable, sources say.Long was the No. 1 pick in the 2008 NFL draft by the Miami Dolphins when current Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano was the Dolphins head coach. The four-time Pro Bowl lineman underwent ACL surgeries in his right knee in both 2013 and 2014 while with the then-St. Louis Rams. He played just 11 snaps for the Atlanta Falcons in 2015.Long, 31, told ESPN in June he was finally healthy ... the best Ive felt in five or six years. His pronouncement was endorsed to teams by Dr. James Andrews, who has performed Longs surgeries and overseen the players recovery. The Ravens were on the verge of signing him in July, but the deal fell apart when Long declined to sign a waiver on his right knee.Sources say Long is willing to play for around the veteran minimum wage of $885,000, which would be prorated with 11 games remaining in the regular season. The Vikings have only an estimated $1.8 million of salary-cap space available.The Vikings had no comment on Long or the specificity of Smiths injury and status.NFL Insider Ed Werder contributed to this report.Rod Carew Twins Jersey .

Prior to that, the left-hander had allowed just nine runs in his previous seven starts.Included in that run was 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball against the Twins at Kauffman Stadium on Aug. 21, when he scattered eight hits and walked two but earned his 11th win.The game has major postseason implications for the defending world champions, who have won the first two games of the series and are playing the third game of a 14-game stretch against teams under .500. If Kansas City is to get back into playoff positioning, this could be their final opportunity to go on a sustained run.In that vein, the Royals were able to avoid using the back end of their bullpen once again, thanks to a seven-run ninth inning on Tuesday in a 10-3 win.We were trying to keep (closer) Wade (Davis) out of the game, said Royals manager Ned Yost. Weve really pounded our back-end relievers the last two weeks. Every opportunity to give them an extra day is always huge.Minnesota got another homee run from second baseman Brian Dozier on Tuesday, whose incredible August has carried right into September.ddddddddddddIt was the fifth straight game with at least one home run for Dozier, tying the franchise record shared by Harmon Killebrew and Marty Cordova. It was his 25th blast since the All-Star break and seventh this month.Its kind of like a video game, said Twins manager Paul Molitor. Just impressive to watch.The Twins will send right-hander Kyle Gibson to the bump looking to build on Ervin Santanas solid outing on Tuesday. Santana allowed three runs over six-plus innings of work, giving the Twins a rare quality start over the last month. Minnesota pitchers have allowed at least eight runs in 12 of its last 19 games and 15 times in the last 26.Gibson has been a big part of that, allowing at least five runs in four of his last seven starts since the beginning of August and giving up fewer than three just once during that stretch; that start lasted just five innings, however.The right-hander allowed six runs, five of them earned, on 10 hits and two walks in a loss to the Royals at Target Field on Aug. 12 but has historically fared well against Kansas City, posting a 5-4 record with a 3.10 ERA in nine career starts against them.
