Vikings expected to have Dalvin Cook available against Steelers
Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is expected to play against the Steelers on Thursday night, according to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Cook is officially listed as questionable after suffering a dislocated left shoulder against the 49ers on Nov. 28. He missed Minnesota’s Week 13 loss to the Lions, but Cook now seems ready for a return to the field just 11 days after his injury.
