As the Vikings look to get past the Chargers, they will need to do so without their standout running back.
Vikings running back Dalvin Cook left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury and is out for the remainder of the contest.
Cook took a handoff early in the second quarter to the left side and was tackled by Denzel Perryman and was injured on the play. Making his way to the medical tent, Cook emerged, but didn't have his helmet on and was ruled out by the team with the Vikings leading 18-10. Minnesota drove for a field goal and a 22-10 advantage to conclude the drive that Cook excited on.
Cook's exodus came with him having rushed for 27 yards on nine carries with three receptions for an additional 16 yards.
Entering the week, Cook was one of just three players this season with 10-plus rushing touchdowns and more than 1,000 yards rushing (the others are Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry). Cook now has 1,135 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns, which are far and away his career-highs.
Though he hasn't missed a game so far this season, Cook has been troubled by a shoulder injury. It was unclear if this was the same previously ailing shoulder.
The Vikings are still looking to wrap up a playoff berth and Cook's status will be paramount. Making the injury all the more concerning is Cook's Alexander Mattison was inactive with an ankle injury, so Minnesota is going with Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah the rest of the way Sunday.
Beyond that, Cook's health remains a developing situation.
