Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is expected to play in a limited role when the team hosts the Detriot Lions on Sunday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star reports.
According to Goessling, the Vikings plan to play Cook on a limited snap count and are hopeful the second-year tailback will see the field on Sunday. Minnesota entered the team's Week 6 matchup with the Cardinals with a similar plan, but Cook was ultimately ruled out after pregame warmups.
Cook has been battling a hamstring injury since the Vikings' Week 2 contest against the Packers.
