ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is unlikely to play in a Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Cook is dealing with an ankle injury and has missed practice all week. Reports earlier in the week indicated confidence he would play, but the Vikings will likely be conservative with their big-play rusher given the early season matchup.
In a Week 2 34-33 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Cook rushed for 131 yards on 22 carries, also catching six passes for 60 yards. The absence of Cook is a huge loss to the Vikings’ offense, with Cook seeing 85% of the workload in the backfield and a 12% share of targets.
