Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (ankle) missed his 2nd straight practice on Thursday. We've heard nothing to suggest that Cook is in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks, but his status is certainly worth checking back on tomorrow afternoon.
Vikings RB Dalvin Cook (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Mike Zimmer reportedly didn't seem concerned about Cook after last week's loss to the Cardinals, but this is certainly a situation to monitor. If Cook can't play vs. the Seahawks this weekend, Alexander Mattison would step in as Minnesota's lead back.
Vikings RB Dalvin Cook was in and out of Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. HC Mike Zimmer said afterward that Cook sprained his ankle but "didn’t seem too concerned about the severity," according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. We'll look for further updates on Cook and monitor his practice participation this coming week.
The Vikings have promoted Klint Kubiak to OC. He's the son of Gary Kubiak, who just retired after spending the past 2 seasons in Minnesota. Klint has no NFL play-calling experience. We suspect his job will be to keep as much of his father's offense in place as possible.
ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports that the Vikings are "leaning heavily" toward resting the "bulk" of their starters in Sunday's game against the Bears. Minnesota is locked into the NFC's #6 seed. Cronin mentions QB Kirk Cousins as 1 starter who isn't expected to play. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is almost certain to be inactive. And we'd bank on WRs Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen getting the day off, too. QB Sean Mannion will get the start for the Vikings, making this an offense to try to avoid in Week 17 fantasy lineups. The Bears DST is a strong play.
