Running back Dalvin Cook returned to TCO Performance Center on Wednesday, ending his quarantine after six days following a positive COVID-19 test. The Vikings' star will be available to play Sunday at Green Bay.
Cook's return will likely be among many leaguewide expedited by recently updated protocols negotiated between the NFL and NFLPA this week, which follow CDC guidelines that recently shortened the recommended time for isolation from 10 to five days.
Unvaccinated players were previously required to quarantine for at least 10 days, which meant Cook couldn't have tested out of the previous protocols until Saturday at the earliest.
