The Minnesota Vikings confirmed on Monday that rookie running back Dalvin Cook suffered a torn ACL in Sunday's 14-7 loss against the Detroit Lions and will undergo surgery.
"I expect him to come back and be the same that he was," head coach Mike Zimmer said during a press conference.
The injury will end a promising season for Cook. The 22-year-old had established himself as one of the focal points of Minnesota's offense, rushing 74 times for 354 yards and two touchdowns and adding 11 catches for 90 yards.
