The Minnesota Vikings have placed running back Dalvin Cook on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Cook is the latest player to test positive for COVID among a large outbreak that is rocking the NFL as of late. It is unsure whether he will be able to play on Sunday against the Rams.
The NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the news via Twitter on Thursday afternoon.
If Cook is vaccinated, he will have to present two negative COVID tests in a 24-hour period and be asymptomatic to return. If he is unvaccinated, he will have to undergo a mandatory 10-day quarantine in addition to the previous two parameters to be able to return to the field.
The NFL moved three games in Week 15 due to teams being shorthanded among a COVID outbreak. It is unclear if any games will be moved this week.
