Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, who has missed three of the past four games with a hamstring strain, did not practice Thursday after being a full participant Wednesday. Cook dressed out but left practice during the portion open to the media.

After getting in a full practice Wednesday, we can only assume Cook suffered a setback sometime today. It's a frustrating situation that the Vikings should have avoided by resting the young star in the first place, but here we are. If Cook is healthy and plays, he is an RB1. If not, Latavius Murray is an RB2. Check back Friday for updates.

Dalvin Cook (hamstring) was listed as a full participant at Wednesday practice.

It's finally happening! After a few weeks of playing hurt and missing time, it seems as though Cook should be ready to roll this weekend. The Vikings face a vulnerable Jets defense Sunday, giving Cook a shot at sliding right back into RB1 consideration if he is a full-go.

Los Angeles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp suffered a knee sprain Sunday and could be sidelined for this week's game against the San Francisco 49ers, coach Sean McVay said.

"Most likely he probably will miss this game," McVay said Monday. "And then dependent on how he responds it will just kind of be on a week-to-week basis."

Kupp was carted off the field in the first half of the Rams' victory over the Denver Broncos after safety Darian Stewart brought him down with a horse-collar tackle. McVay said he initially thought the injury appeared as though it could have been season-ending. After evaluation, Kupp started the second half but played only one series after the training staff determined it was in his best interest to sit out, the story went on to say.

Rams’ WR Cooper Kupp suffered an MCL sprain Sunday and his team thinks he “could miss some time, but not sure yet,” per source.

If Kupp misses time, it would mean more targets for Cooks and Woods. MCL sprains can mean missing multiple weeks, but that's certainly doesn't seem official yet based on the tweet. However, he seems unlikely for Week 7, which is against the 49ers.

Cooks and Kupp are good to go today and have been cleared after concussions. This puts a dent in Robert Woods' value as the Rams are at full strength for Week 6.

Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp are cleared to play in Week 6.

The Rams offense will be at full strength. Start their fantasy options with confidence.

Dalvin Cook is again listed as questionable this Sunday. He was quoted as saying, "Me going out there 80 percent, 70 percent, I’m not going to be able to help my team like that. We got a bunch of guys that are 100 percent that can help the team win football games. At this point, it’s just me getting 100 percent so I can go out there and be who I am and that's be explosive."

At this point, we have no real read on whether Cook will play this week. If he does, he is an RB1 in a crazy excellent matchup against the Cardinals' horrid run defense. If Cook sits, Latavius Murray is a locked and loaded RB2.

Rams coach Sean McVay said that Brandin Cooks and Cooper Kupp went through a full practice today and they anticipate they’ll be cleared tomorrow.

While the news was expected, it's still welcome to get confirmation from McVay that Cooks and Kupp should play. Both, along with Robert Woods, are ranked as top-18 options this week against Denver.
