Dalvin Cook Will Play Against Steelers

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will play against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Cook missed Week 13 with a dislocated shoulder. His initial timeline was expected to be three weeks but he'll return after just 11 days. The running back was limited during practice this week and passed tested this morning that cleared him to play.

Vikings RB Dalvin Cook will play tonight vs. the Steelers with a shoulder harness, just as he did vs. the Saints in a January 2020 wild-card game, when he had 31 touches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. With the harness, expectations are that Cook maintains his regular workload.

Cook has rushed for 773 yards and four touchdowns in nine games this season. His backup, Alexander Mattison, rushed 22 times for 90 yards and a touchdown as the starter in Week 13 against the Detroit Lions.
