Pro-Bowl RB Dalvin Cook no longer will participate in any team-related activities until and unless he receives a “reasonable” deal, a source said Monday.

“He’s out,” a source told ESPN. “Without a reasonable extension, he will not be showing up for camp or beyond.”

Dalvin Cook is entering the last season on a four-year rookie deal and is expected to make just over $2 million in 2020. After posting 1,654 combined yards and 13 touchdowns in 2019, the 24-year old looking to get paid. According to Schefter, "the two sides, the Vikings and Cook, have not spoken since last week and have no further talks scheduled". Alexander Mattison and Mike Boone would see a big jump in fantasy rankings if Cook does miss playing time.

Texans acquire WR Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the Rams for the 57th pick in this month's draft.

This is a nice spot for Brandin Cooks to land as he'll slide in as the Texans top wideout. He's a downgrade from DeAndre Hopkins talent-wise, but should still be a WR2 for fantasy purposes.

Vikings RBs Dalvin Cook (chest) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) were limited in Thursday's practice.

Thursday was the first full practice of the week after a walkthrough on Wednesday for the Vikings. There's a good chance neither plays, however. The Vikings are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs, so the team is likely to let both backs rest and prepare for the Wild Card game, which could possibly be on Saturday. Mike Boone would be the lead back again but owners are likely to shy away from him after he disappointed many folks on Monday night with his disappearing act against the Packers.

The Cowboys listed QB Dak Prescott (shoulder) as a non-participant in Wednesday’s practice.

The report was an estimation with the practice being pushed back to Wednesday night because of the Christmas holiday. The Cowboys are likely managing Prescott’s reps this week as they’ll need him Sunday in a must-win game against the Redskins.
