After suffering an ankle injury in Arizona, Dalvin Cook’s status going into Sunday’s home opener against Seattle is very much up in the air. Cook is trending towards missing Friday’s practice, meaning he will not have practiced at all this week.
Needless to say, this would be a very big blow to the Vikings offense. Cook’s running ability has been the catalyst for Minnesota, and he proved to once again motorize the team towards 33 points and 419 yards on Sunday.
It is especially disheartening as Cook probably would have been able to produce another big week against a Seahawks run defense that let Derrick Henry rack up 182 yards and three touchdowns.
