Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has a torn ACL in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season, coach Mike Zimmer said Monday.
Cook suffered the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Detroit Lions. Zimmer said Cook will undergo surgery and is expected to return next season.
Cook was injured on a play when he took a handoff from Case Keenum up the middle of the field for a 10-yard gain. Upon cutting to his right to avoid being tackled by Lions safety Tavon Wilson, Cook reached down to grab his left knee and fumbled the ball.
The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Cook was Minnesota's second-round draft selection this year and rushed for 354 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' first four games this season.

That sucks for Dalvin. I'm glad the Bears don't have to face him though.

Loved him in college, thought he was the best back in the draft. Sucks for him.
