Dalvin Cook Likely to Play Against Steelers

The Minnesota Vikings could get a major offensive boost against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will likely face off against Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook in Week 14. 

Cook suffered a separated shoulder just 11 days ago and was initially expected to miss 2-3 weeks before returning. According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, he's expected to play on Thursday night against the Steelers.
