Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook reportedly may be in the lineup Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Cook is trending toward playing after suffering a dislocated shoulder against the San Francisco 49ers less than two weeks ago. Cook reportedly "wants to give it a go" Thursday.
Pelissero also reported that while the Vikes initially didn't expect Cook back until Dec. 20 against the Chicago Bears, Cook underwent "intense" rehab to regain strength and range of motion in his shoulder.
In addition to the shoulder injury keeping him out this week, an ankle injury cost Cook two games earlier this season.
