Dalvin Cook

Seriously, this is a pretty big list of former Packers and Vikings players.

The Vikings will play Sunday without running back Dalvin Cook. Cook's father, James passed away unexpectedly Tuesday. Cook is with family in Miami, Florida. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the Vikings will play to win at Detroit despite not having any real incentive to win.

Viking running back Dalvin Cook and rookie receiver Justin Jefferson were both named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster Monday. Cook is 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards with 1,484 and 15 rushing touchdowns to go along with 42 catches for 349 yards and 1 touchdown. Jefferson has 73 catches for 1,182 yards and 7 touchdowns so far this season.

The Vikings were led by running back Dalvin Cook in their 28-22 road win at Green Bay Sunday. Cook scored 3 touchdowns on the ground and 1 more in the air on a screen pass. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON this morning.

The Vikings lost 27-26 at Seattle Sunday night when Russell Wilson found D.K. Metcalf in the end zone with :15 left for the go-ahead touchdown. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

Will the Vikings be one of the top teams in the league and return to the playoffs? If all these pieces all come together, then the outlook is good.

Viking running back Dalvin Cook is reportedly holding out and won't be attending team activities until he receives a good contract offer or an extension. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.
