Vikings work out former Lions RB Kerryon Johnson

With Dalvin Cook apparently set to miss at least a couple of games with the shoulder injury he suffered on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings are looking for some help in the backfield, and they brought in an interesting name for a workout on Tuesday.

The Vikings brought in former Detroit Lions’ running back Kerryon Johnson for a workout on Tuesday, per numerous reports.

Johnson was drafted by the Lions in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of the University of Auburn. He’s battled injuries over the course of his career, as he was limited to 10 games in his rookie season of 2018 because of a knee injury and seven games in 2019 because of a different knee injury.
