Cook and Mattison held out of Thursday’s Vikings practice

Dalvin Cook is dealing with a shoulder injury while Alexander Mattison has an ankle injury.

Viking running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) both missed Thursday’s practice as the team prepares for the Packers on MNF in Week 16.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Thursday morning that Cook was unlikely to play on Monday night. The same can probably be said about Mattison, who missed every day of practice last week.

There’s a good chance we’ll see plenty of second-year running back Mike Boone against the Packers.

The good news for the Vikings is that all other players participated in some capacity in practice.
