Cook at Vikings Camp, But No Deal Yet: ‘Where I Want to Be’

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have conducted their first official practice of the season, and Dalvin Cook was a full participant.

The NFL’s latest running back contract conundrum appears to be on track for resolution without a public clash between team and player.

Cook has entered the final year of his rookie deal. He says his agent and the team are “working hard” on a new contract. He has no plans to hold out without one.

The 2017 second-round pick had his first Pro Bowl selection in 2019. He was seventh in the league with 1,654 yards from scrimmage in just 14 games.

The Vikings are set to open the regular season September 13th against the Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
