Cook went down in considerable pain in the Vikings’ Week 12 loss vs. the 49ers, and it appeared as though his season might be over. However, the news isn’t as bad as it could’ve been. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that an MRI showed Cook suffered a torn labrum and a separated shoulder, but the injury is not considered season-ending. He suffered a similar injury at the end of the 2019 season and ultimately missed two games before returning for the playoffs.
With Cook out of the lineup, Alexander Mattison is expected to take over as the team’s feature back.
