Dalvin Cook’s Season Ends Early Following Death of His Father

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has had a very productive season, and unfortunately for him, that season is coming to an end a bit prematurely. His father, James Cook, has passed away at the age of 46.

#Vikings RB Dalvin Cook has returned home to Miami after his father, James, passed away unexpectedly Tuesday.

Cook wanted to finish out an All-Pro caliber season, but felt it was best to be back home with his younger siblings. He won't play Sunday against the #Lions.
