MINNEAPOLIS – Dalvin Cook admitted he was nervous when testing out his hamstring ahead of the game against the Detroit Lions after not seeing the field since Week 4. After all, the Minnesota Vikings running back had gone through a similar on-field workout three weeks before only to discover his body wasn’t responding the way he had hoped hours before kickoff against the Cardinals.
Not long after, Cook showed no signs of trepidation while breaking off the longest rush of his career, sprinting 70 yards down the visiting team’s sideline on an inside zone run where he reached speeds of 22.
