Dalvin Cook needed a cart to exit the field at Levi's Stadium on Sunday, but he might not be done for 2021.
Cook suffered a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum in
Minnesota's Week 12 loss to San Francisco, but the injury will not end his season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. An MRI revealed the damage, which leaves Cook without a definitive timeline for return. The Vikings hope Cook will be able to rest, heal and rehab for a few weeks like he did in 2019 before returning for Minnesota's stretch run, per Rapoport. Cook could potentially return as early as Week 15 against the Bears.
