Alexander Mattison (illness) out for Vikings vs. Jaguars
To whatever extent the Vikings try to give Dalvin Cook a break on Sunday, they’ll have to do it without his primary backup.The Vikings ruled running back Alexander Mattison out for Sunday’s game because of an illness, meaning they’ll have to use Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah on the occasions they want to spell Cook. Mattison’s illness is not believed to be related to COVID-19, but it will nonetheless keep him out for a game where the Vikings might look to lighten Cook’s workload somewhat.
