Cool. Have a feeling Z. Smith is going to be out, however.

Yeah, I am afraid you are probably right.

Would be huge if Dalvin can go and be effective. He’s due for a blow up game I think.

If they will feed him the rock, I think our line is more than capable of busting him loose.

He supposedly separated his shoulder less than a week ago and he is ready to go already?  color me skeptical.

partial subluxation I think.  Not fully separated.  But I agree, seems odd to be ready in less than a week.

I will be pleasantly surprised if he plays.

When was the last time Cook rocked it when nursing an injury?

If Z is out its not ideal however Patrick Jones has been one of our most impressive backups this year from what i have seen

In a way I kinda hope Mattison starts.

If he's not the starter in Minnesota in 2023,  he'll be starting somewhere in the NFL.

Vikings might sit him for his own good, but practicing in full on Thursday typically means you're playing.

Last time this happened. He separated his shoulder, missed one week, put it in a harness and ran for 205 yards and 2 TDs.

Sounding more like Z is out...Hope that's not a sentence I have to type much this season. 

I personally think they're rushing Cook back too soon. 

This Saints game is one that can easily bite the Vikings.

Strap up fellas Bionic Dalvin is back! Hope he can find some lanes against this stout defense. Also would love to see some successful screen plays too. Haven’t had much success on those year to date, which is surprising.

Looks like Michael Thomas is out.  So that should help our struggling D.

He has had this issue since college. He just opted against having surgery.
