Eden Prairie, MN (Sports Network) - The Minnesota Vikings placed
cornerback Chris Cook on injured reserve Friday, but with the "designated for
return" tag.
In a Friday press conference, Frazier revealed that Cook suffered a broken
wrist in Thursday's 36-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cook, a third-year pro out of Virginia, sustained the injury during the second
quarter of that home setback. He totaled 31 tackles in eight games this
season.
Under the rules of the new IR designation, Cook is ineligible to participate
in either team or individual drills, but is eligible to return to practice
after six weeks and can return to the active list in eight.
Rookie Josh Robinson is expected to take Cook's slot, starting with
Minnesota's Nov. 4 game at Seattle.
