Minnesota Vikings place RB Dalvin Cook on reserve/COVID-19 list

EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings on Thursday placed running back Dalvin Cook on the COVID-19/reserve list. Cook, who has been following protocols for unvaccinated players, is expected to be out for 10 days and miss Minnesota's Week 16 bout against the Los Angeles Rams.

Cook, who was named to his third straight Pro Bowl this week, leads the NFC in rushing with 1,067 yards. He is currently the only Viking player on the team's COVID-19/reserve list.

With three games remaining, Minnesota (7-7) is currently the NFC's No. 7 seed. Cook would be in line to return for the Vikings' last road game of the season at Green Bay on Jan.
