Cook (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions.
Cook has been dealing with a right ankle sprain since Week 2, which resulted in an absence Week 3 and capped him to just 11 touches for 44 total yards last Sunday against the Browns. The Vikings considered the fifth-year back a game-time decision for Sunday's contest after he managed just one limited appearance in practice this week, but he hasn't made enough progress to be available to the offense again. With Cook in street clothes, Minnesota will turn to Alexander Mattison as its featured runner.
