Dalvin Cook scheduled for MRI after injury vs. Seahawks

Dalvin Cook left Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with an apparent groin injury.

The Minnesota Vikings running back pulled up after a run in the third quarter clutching his left groin. He limped to the locker room with help and was replaced in the Vikings backfield by Alexander Mattison on Minnesota’s next possession.

Cook returned to the sideline and for one play on the ensuing Vikings possession, but was replaced again in the backfield by Mattison one possession later. He did not return. The Seahawks won the game, 27-26.

Cook to have MRI

After the game, Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters that Cook is scheduled for an MRI on Monday.

Cook had 17 carries for 65 yards and five catches for 24 yards with a rushing touchdown before leaving the game. In four games prior to Sunday night, Cook totaled 464 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns as the focus on Minnesota’s offense.
