Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer did not provide an update as to Cook’s status after the game. Asked if the injury was the same one Cook has been dealing with, however, Zimmer responded, “No, it’s not.”
Thielen said it was difficult to see Cook leave the game.
“We know how tough he is, and we know how tough he is for this football team. I’m sure he’ll be back out there playing again and doing his thing,” Thielen said.
Cousins said it will be important to “take it one day at a time” in assessing Cook’s injury and whether or not he’ll be available for the Vikings-Packers showdown on Monday Night Football next week.
The quarterback emphasized that they won’t hurry Cook back before he’s ready.
“We’ll be patient with it. Whether he goes or not, we’ll have a plan,” Cousins said. “Mike Boone, Ameer Abdullah, Alex Mattison, whoever we’re calling on – C.J. Ham – thankfully we’ve asked a lot of them already this year, and they’ve shown they’re very capable of handling a larger role.”
Cook recorded nine carries for 27 yards before suffering the injury.
