Vikings RB Dalvin Cook suffers right shoulder injury vs. Seahawks

In the third quarter, running back Dalvin Cook injured his right shoulder on a play that he also fumbled on.

The Vikings may have just lost their most-important offensive player in Monday night’s game against the Seahawks.

In the third quarter, running back Dalvin Cook injured his right shoulder on a play that he also fumbled on.

While his return was officially listed as questionable, Cook looked like he was in immense pain and went straight to the locker room after the play. It would be a surprise if he returned to the game.

In his absence, we can expect to see rookie Alexander Mattison get plenty of carries.

We’ll update you on the status of Cook, who has his first 1,000-yard season in 2019, as the news comes along.

The Vikings are already without Pro Bowl wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring). Tackle Riley Reiff (concussion) also left the game.
