Vikings RB Dalvin Cook's groin injury not considered serious

Dalvin Cook appears to have avoided serious injury, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said, after the star running back strained his groin in the third quarter of Sunday’s 27-26 loss in Seattle.

Cook underwent an MRI on Monday that went “pretty well,” Zimmer said, and the fact Cook didn’t end up on injured reserve indicates the Vikings believe his injury will cost him fewer than three games, if any at all.

Fantasy Impact: 

Zimmer acknowledged Cook has a chance to play Sunday against the Falcons, but the Vikings also have a Week 7 bye that could give him two weeks of rest while missing one game. Mattison filled in nicely and will likely be a popular waiver wire grab this week. Hopefully for Cook owners they are already backed up.
