EAGAN, MN – Minnesota Vikings’ star running back Dalvin Cook was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday after testing positive for the virus.
Cook already has his third straight 1,000-yard rushing season and is the only player in the NFL with 1,200-plus yards from scrimmage in each of the last three years. Cook, named to the Pro Bowl earlier this week, has been following protocols for unvaccinated players. Alexander Mattison, who missed the previous game with COVID-19, has returned and will take over the lead role in the backfield for Sunday’s game at home with the Los Angeles Rams (11:00 AM, 94.5/100.5 KPLO & 100/7 KMLO).
