Running back Dalvin Cook said Wednesday his lingering shoulder injury, suffered Nov. 17 against the Broncos and reaggravated twice during fumbles Monday night in the Vikings' 37-30 loss in Seattle, is a matter of pain tolerance because "I don't think this thing can get any worse."
"I've missed enough time before," Cook said, "so I'm trying to be on the field."
Cook, whose 271 touches in 12 games trail only Carolina's Christian McCaffery and Jacksonville's Leonard Fournette, was a limited participant in the Vikings' estimated injury report Wednesday, when the team held a shortened walk-through.
If Cook plays Sunday against the Lions, will he be on a snap count?
