Two Minnesota Vikings rookies with high expectations got their first chance to put on a purple jersey and face off with another team on Thursday night. Dalvin Cook got nine touches in his debut and Elflein played a large chunk of the game with the second team.On Saturday, the team was back at Winter Park for practice. Head coach Mike Zimmer said Cook didn’t get a ton of opportunities to show all of his talent, but did demonstrate some competitiveness.
“Elflein played very, very well,” Zimmer said. “He had one bad snap, but he played really well. He missed one guy, he took a poor angle.”
