’Noles in the NFL: Week 4

The Minnesota Vikings are having injury problems this season. Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater continues to rehab from his knee injury last season, and the current starter, Sam Bradford, is sitting out as well.

To make matters worse, Dalvin Cook suffered a non-contact injury in Sunday’s matchup. Early reports indicate that it may be a season ending injury for the former Florida State tailback. It’s a shame, as Cook was having a phenomenal start to his rookie campaign.

We wish Cook a speedy recovery and hope to see him on the field again for the beginning of offseason conditioning.
