The Injury Bug Bites Another Vike

By Cartman on | From vikingsgab.com

Early word after the preseason game on Saturday was that rookie cornerback Chris Cook’s injury was not serious.

Apparently that isn’t entirely true.

Judd Zulgad of Access Vikings reports that Cook suffered a meniscus tear in his right knee and is expected to miss two weeks at the very minimum.

The timing of the injury should conjure up phrases like “go figure” and “knew that was coming” considering that they just traded away solid reserve cornerback Benny Sapp in exchange for Greg Camarillo.

With Sapp gone and Cook sidelined during the season opener, the Vikings are suddenly a bit shallow at the cornerback position and it increases the odds that the Vikes choose to keep either DeAndre Wright or Marcus Sherels on the 53-man roster in the first round of cuts.

Some good news came about today, however, as Toby Gerhart rejoined the team for practice.

Safety Jamarca Sanford, tight end Garrett Mills, center John Sullivan (calf), defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy and wide receiver Logan Payne (ribs) were all absent during practice on Tuesday.
