Dalvin Cook Ruled out for Vikings vs. Lions Because of Shoulder Injury

Dalvin Cook's shoulder injury will keep him out for at least one game.

The Minnesota Vikings announced on Friday that Cook won't play this weekend against the Detroit Lions.

The 26-year-old missed two games earlier in the season with an ankle issue, and his woes didn't end there. He was forced to leave a Week 12 loss against the San Francisco 49ers early with a dislocated shoulder, an injury that was expected to cost him two games.

It was a particularly concerning injury for Cook, as he has had shoulder problems dating back to his Florida State days.
