Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted October 2, 2017 EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings anticipated the worst after Dalvin Cook went down with a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions. Unfortunately, their fears were confirmed. Cook will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the torn ACL in his left knee, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer confirmed Monday. The rookie running back, who was on pace to top 400 yards rushing through the first four games of the season, suffered a noncontact knee injury early in the third quarter Sunday. Cook took a handoff from Case Keenum up the middle of the field for a 10-yard gain. Upon cutting to his right to avoid being tackled by Lions safety Tavon Wilson, Cook reached down to grab his left knee and fumbled the ball. Zimmer said Cook will need to wait until the swelling goes down before having surgery. The likelihood of the knee having sustained other damage didn't raise any red flags. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20895191/dalvin-cook-minnesota-vikings-torn-acl-miss-remainder-rookie-season Tough break for the Vikings man. if the fat lady was merely warming up before, she may be belting now.

BwareDWare94 723 Posted October 3, 2017 We have top 10 players in their respective positional groups at arguably every level of this defense. Griffin at DE, Joseph at DT, Smith at S, and Rhodes at CB, for sure. Joseph, Smith, and Rhodes are all undoubtedly top 5 players at their respective positions. An argument could also be made for both Kendricks and Barr as top 10 players at the MLB and OLB positions. This defense is so fucking good...but our players on offense just drop like flies. It makes no sense. It hurts as a fan to have this happen so devastatingly these past 2 seasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
