INDIANAPOLIS — Mike Zimmer is seeking answers to the Vikings’ hamstring issues from last season, even though he said they had an average amount. Dalvin Cook, Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks were the most prominent players to miss snaps because of injured hamstrings.
“We had 14 hamstring [injuries] last year and the average in the NFL was 14 and 1/2,” Zimmer said. “We are going to have to look at those things. Is it shoes? Is it field condition? Is it not warmed up? Is it not hydrated enough? There are so many things. And actually the NFL is doing a big study on it right now as far as those kinds of things.
