incognito_man Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Not "official" yet, but signs point to it being an ACL tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incarcerated_Scarface Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 That really sucks. He was doing fantastic so far. Hope he recovers quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmurtry86 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Most skill position players take a full season+ to get back to their "normal" level of play after an ACL tear. I would expect 2018 to be a down year for him whenever he comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few exceptions, but usually, that first season back is a bit of a down year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezy Fanatic Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Despite being a Nole, Dalvin was my favorite prospect coming out this year. Hate to see his career start off this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Disappointing but you could tell when he got injured that it was severe. He was looking good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 As young as he is I could see him bouncing back by the start of training camp being near 100%. This happens to a 27-28 year old with 5-6 years in the NFL and it likely takes over a year to be back to what he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Absolutely brutal this year for the Vikings. He was really helping give the offense balance. I do think that the Vikings are more of a passing team right now anyways so getting Bradford back this week and healthy for the season is paramount right now. Cook is young and I expect him to bounce back quickly. It'll be interesting to see what the Vikings team looks like next season, especially if Bradford misses any time again and Bridgewater plays which seems likely if Bradford misses time late in the season. I think putting Cook with Bridgewater would give the Vikings a nice offense for a while, especially with a pretty young WR corp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
