The Minnesota Vikings saw star running back Dalvin Cook injure his left shoulder during the third quarter of the Vikings’ 28-24 victory over the Detroit Lions last Sunday.
This isn’t the first time that Cook has injured his shoulder. He had issues with it at Florida State and has continued to have issues with it. It is one of those injuries that will likely stay with him throughout his career.
During the Viking’s second possession, the NFL Network broadcast cut to Jamie Erdahl on the sidelines who elaborated for the audience about Cook’s injury and the fact that he is wearing a harness.
She said that Cook not wearing it last week was on him with Cook stubbornly thinking that he had strengthened it up enough to not need it. Needless to say, that was not the case as he injured his shoulder and will now wear the harness for the rest of the season.
Hopefully, the move helps Cook stay on the field all season.
