Cook had rushed for 66 yards on 13 carries and scored Minnesota’s lone touchdown before leaving on a non-contact play. Players getting hurt on non-contact plays typically are bad signs about the extent of the issue.

The rookie second-round pick entered the game with 288 rushing yards and 82 receiving yards in three games.
