ESPN's Adam Schefter issued a statement on air regarding his initial reporting on the Dalvin Cook domestic abuse and extortion allegations, saying that "it’s a reminder to slow down."
The NFL insider reported at 7:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday night that Cook's agent, Zac Hiller, told him that the running back is the victim of domestic abuse and extortion, and tweeted out additional details about the alleged incident from Hiller at 8 p.m. ET.
Just 45 minutes later, the Star Tribune shared their breaking news story that Cook is facing a lawsuit from a former girlfriend alleging assault, battery and false imprisonment and included details from the complaint.
