Cook (ankle) appears to be taking part in practice Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Cook seemed to get in some work last Wednesday and Thursday, too, before the Vikings listed him as a non-participant on both occasions. With that in mind, it'll be interesting to see if he'll put himself on a path to play this week against the Panthers, after the Vikings held him out of their Week 5 win over Detroit. The Vikings will release their first Week 6 injury report later Wednesday, which will reveal whether Cook practiced in a limited fashion.
