UPDATE: Cook is now inactive for today’s game http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/trae-waynes-jersey , as apparently his hamstring issue flared up during warmups and the team did not feel comfortable putting him out there.Original story follows:It appears we’ve got some good news and some bad news concerning Minnesota Vikings’ running back Dalvin Cook.This was just tweeted out by Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune:Goessling reports that, for now, the plan for Cook is to have him play approximately 20-25 plays Womens Andrew Sendejo Jersey , but he will be available for the Vikings when they take on the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.Cook has missed two of the last three games for the Vikings, sitting out of the Week 3 loss to the Buffalo Bills and the Week 5 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He did suit up for the Week 4 loss against the Los Angeles Rams, and in that game carried the ball 10 times for 20 yards. He wound up playing a total of 18 snaps in that game http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com/xavier-rhodes-jersey , and did not take the field at all in the second half.So, if you’re hoping for a big game for Dalvin Cook on Sunday against Arizona, hopefully he can meet your expectations in a limited amount of time. The Rams definitely won’t have cornerback Aqib Talib on Thursday night against the Vikings. The Rams likely won’t have cornerback Marcus Peters Authentic Kirk Cousins Jersey , either.ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Peters is unlikely to play. Which is a no-brainer, given that Peters suffered a calf strain only four days ago.Making it even more of a no-brainer is the fact that Peters has yet to get his second NFL contract. The one that could make him one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL. So why take a chance on a short week with a bad calf that could easily be aggravated, becoming the kind of problem that lingers all year Authentic Mike Hughes Jersey , impacts his performance, and ultimately keeps him from getting paid what he deserves.It’s a smart play. A business decision. Erring on the side of caution. Erring on the side of maximizing earnings. And, for the team Womens Adam Thielen Jersey , ensuring that he’ll be good to go deeper in the season.The absence of Talib and Peters gives the Vikings an advantage in a game where they are otherwise significantly disadvantaged. So maybe the Vikings will be able to score in the 20s. The question is whether their defense can keep the Rams out of the 30s.
