Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer declares Dalvin Cook ready for Denver

As the Minnesota Vikings enter the midway point of training camp, the talk around TCO Performance Center has been how good Dalvin Cook has looked. Coming back from an ACL tear suffered in Week 4 last season, Cook has already ditched the knee brace, practiced in full and looks every bit as explosive as he did last September.

Despite all of this, there was some concern about whether or not Cook would be ready for the preseason opener at Denver on August 11. As head coach Mike Zimmer spoke to the media this morning, he made it clear that he’s seen all that he needs to see to know that he’s back.
