7 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (knee) is on schedule to return in 2018, according to general manager Rick Spielman. In his rookie season, the second-round pick tore his ACL in Week 4 and missed the rest of the year. “He’s progressed very nicely,” Spielman said of Cook. “I talked to [Director of Sports Medicine/Head Athletic Trainer] Eric Sugarman yesterday when we got back in town, and we don’t see any reason where he’s not going to be where Adrian Peterson was when he came off his knee [injury]." Cook managed 354 yards on 74 carries (4.8 yards per carry) and had two touchdowns before his knee injury. The rookie showed plenty of promise in Minnesota's backfield, and he should once again be on the RB1 radar in 2018 regardless of who is under center for the Vikes.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
