Cook (knee) may play in Saturday's preseason game at Denver, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Previously, it was the running back himself that was "hopeful" of a preseason appearance, which was substantiated by coach Mike Zimmer, per Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Now, it appears Cook has a real shot to suit up a little more than 10 months removed from a torn left ACL. Even so, Cook is unlikely to see more than a series or two per game until the regular season.
