Report: Vikings RB Dalvin Cook to miss Week 17 vs Lions due to family emergency

ESPN’s Courtney Cronin is reporting that Minnesota Vikings starting RB Dalvin Cook will miss Week 17 versus the Detroit Lions due to a family emergency.

ESPN’s Courtney Cronin is reporting that Minnesota Vikings starting RB Dalvin Cook will miss Week 17 versus the Detroit Lions due to a family emergency.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting the family emergency was the unexpected passing of his father, James on Tuesday, and Cook has returned home to Miami, Florida to be with his younger siblings.

With Cook’s season now over, he will end his career year with 1,557 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns, 44 receptions, 361 receiving yards, and a receiving touchdown.

The last time Vikings met the Lions, Cook ran for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns (as well as two receptions for 46 yards), and a repeat performance would have put his name in the Vikings’ record books. Cook was 203 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns away from matching Adrian Peterson’s single-season team records.

Of note for the game, Cooks’s backup Alexander Mattison is currently in concussion protocols and missed Week 16. If he is also not able to play, the Vikings will likely turn to former Lions running back Ameer Abdullah. Minnesota’s Week 17 injury report will be due out Wednesday afternoon, and Mattison’s status will be updated then.

We at Lions Wire wish to offer our condolences to Cook and his family during this difficult time.

Week 16 inactives: Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams

The complete inactive player lists for both the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams ahead of their Week 16 contest at Lumen Field.

The Seattle Seahawks hope to win the NFC West division title Sunday afternoon with a victory over the Los Angeles Rams at Lumen Field.

The Seahawks are the healthiest they’ve been since the start of the season, with just four players listed on Friday’s injury report. Only running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) had been ruled out, guard Mike Iupati is doubtful with a stinger and tackle Brandon Shell (ankle) and safety Damarious Randall (foot) are both questionable to play Week 16.

Coach Pete Carroll said Friday Jordan Simmons is likely to get the start in place of Iaupati, should he be unable to go.

Here’s a look at the complete inactive lists for both the Seahawks and the Rams Sunday afternoon.

Detroit Lions Frank Ragnow has been downgraded to OUT vs Titans

The Detroit Lions have downgraded starting center Frank Ragnow to OUT for the team’s Week 15 match-up with the Tennessee Titans.

The Detroit Lions have downgraded starting center Frank Ragnow to OUT for the team’s Week 15 match-up with the Tennessee Titans.

Ragnow suffered a fractured throat in last Sunday’s game versus the Green Bay Packers and despite playing every snap that game, by the then end of it, he had lost the ability to talk.

After examination during the week, it was discovered that Ragnow’s injury existed in the vocal cord cartilage, not the bone, and fortunately, he was still able to breathe and swallow normally. Unfortunately, the stress on his vocal cords still prevented him from speaking.

Ragnow visited a specialist on Friday, and while the team listed him as questionable earlier in the day, it appears they were given further information on his status and downgraded him to out.

The Lions don’t carry a reserve center on the active roster, but starting left guard Jonah Jackson has experience playing center in college, and former starting guard Joe Dahl has been cross-trained at center since he arrived in Detroit in 2016. Dahl said on Thursday that he feels very comfortable at the position if called upon.

While there isn’t a true center on the 53-man roster, they do carry two on the practice squad: Marcus Martin and Evan Brown.

Martin has been with the Lions most of the season, was a protected practice squad player this week, and was previously elevated by the Lions in Week 9. He has 24 NFL starts under his belt and seems likely to be elevated once again this week — which typically happens on Saturday — if only to back up Jackson or Dahl.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to host the winless New York Jets Week 14 at Lumen Field.

Ahead of the matchup, Seattle had only ruled out one player – offensive lineman Jamarco Jones – who has been suffering from a groin/pelvis injury. Running back and special teams contributor, Travis Homer, was listed as doubtful to play on the injury report with a knee injury.

Four players were designated as questionable to play: defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot), tackle Cedric Ogbuehi (calf), safety Ryan Neal (hip), and guard Phil Haynes (hip/groin).

All six players listed on the injury report are inactive Sunday against New York.

Here are the complete inactive lists for both the Seahawks and the Jets.
