With so much of Purple Nation fretting over Dalvin Cook's heavy workload the past six weeks, this question was offered up to the Vikings' busiest employee.
"How do those career-high 38 touches feel three days later?"
Cook smiled. It was Wednesday, the start of another week of practices for the NFL's leader in combined yards (1,564). It's a crucial week for a running back who has averaged 30.3 touches during a 5-1 run that's put the Vikings in playoff position.
"I feel great, actually," Cook said. "I'll probably need 38 more."
He was limited in two practices last week because of an ankle injury.
