MINNEAPOLIS — Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said the No. 1 priority for his defense this week was to stop the Minnesota Vikings running game — a job that got easier about 90 minutes before kickoff.
Top Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is inactive because of a sprained ankle that has hobbled him the past two weeks.
Cook missed two days of practice this week and was listed as questionable on the Vikings' Friday injury report. He missed a Week 3 win over the Seattle Seahawks, but returned in limited action in last week's 14-7 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
