Vikings running back Dalvin Cook suffered an injury scare in Week 13, going down hard on his chest/shoulder on Monday Night Football against the Seahawks.
Cook played in Week 14 against the Lions, rushing for 62 yards and a touchdown to go with two catches for 13 yards.
Good news for the Vikings: Cook came out of the game healthy and seems ready for the final three-game stretch of the regular season.
“I’m good. I’m good to go,” Cook said via the Star Tribune. “It’s a physical game. They got some big guys over there in Detroit. I came out healthy — clean, so that’s a positive sign.”
This is huge for a Vikings team that needs some wins down the stretch to be sure of a playoff berth and possible NFC North championship.
The Vikings travel to Los Angeles in Week 15 to face off against the Chargers. The Chargers are allowing 108 rushing yards per game, a mark that ranks 17th in the NFL.
