Vikings Get Amazing News on Dalvin Cook Injury for Sunday

The Minnesota Vikings may have picked up their first win of the season last week, but fans were also left watching their offense work without one of it's best players.

That won't be the case on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, however, as Dalvin Cook is expected to return to action following his one-game absence.

Vikings’ RB Dalvin Cook, listed as questionable for Sunday due to an ankle injury, is expected to play barring a pre-game setback, per source.

Cook was up to his usual tricks through the first two weeks of the season before an ankle injury sidelined him in Week 3. He handled a heavy workload of 50 touches, contributing 252 yards from scrimmage to open the year.

Alexander Mattison did a great job spelling Cook last week (161 yards on 32 touches), but there's no doubting that Cook's return makes this offense even more dangerous.

The Vikings will also need every bit of cook's explosiveness today, as this Browns defense has allowed just 3.1 yards per carry (tied for the third-fewest in the NFL) to open the season.

FanDuel Sportsbook's Week 4 NFL odds project this to be a close one, with the Vikings sitting as slight 1-point home underdogs.
