Dalvin Cook Activated Off COVID-19 List
3 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was activated off of the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and figures to be ready for the team's game against Green Bay. It's a crucial game for Minnesota's playoff hopes, so we should expect Cook to return to a feature role and he should obviously be started. However, we've seen many players come back from positive COVID-19 tests and not have their full cardio back. Given that backup Alexander Mattison is a talented runner in his own right, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Vikings give Mattison a few more carries than normal in order to make sure Cook is most effective. That's something to watch during practice this week, but you can confidently slot Cook back into your starting lineups.
