BREAKING: Dalvin Cook Tore His Labrum While Dislocating His Shoulder

It was a scary Sunday for the Minnesota Vikings as they lost more than just the game against the 49ers.

Running back Dalvin Cook went down with a shoulder injury and had to be carted off the field.

Cook was injured after being brought down by Niners defensive tackle Kevin Givens following a handoff. The running back lost the ball in the process of being tackled and immediately grabbed for his chest with his right arm when he hit the ground.

On Monday, it was reported that he tore his labrum while dislocating his shoulder after a tackle. Rapoport says the Vikings hope Cook will be back in time for a potential playoff push. 

#Vikings RB Dalvin Cook tore his labrum while dislocating his shoulder yesterday, sources said the MRI revealed. But the ailment is not season-ending. The hope is this is like 2019, when the team rests Cook a few games to have him healthy for a playoff run.

Dalvin Cook missed the last two games of 2019 after a similar injury. Vikings opted against going for home-field advantage, choosing to have Cook healthy to beat the #Saints in the Wild Card round. In that game, Cook had 130 yards and 2 TDs post injury. https://t.co/5sAgb3dfbz
