The Facts: All signs point to Cook being a full participant when training camp begins in late July. He has been doing some work on the field since spring drills began April 16, and athletic trainer Eric Sugarman expressed continued optimism Tuesday about his recovery. “Really, Dalvin’s knocked the rehab out of the park,” Sugarman said. “He’s done a great job. He’s been here every day since the injury occurred post-surgery. … He’ll participate in (organized team activities and minicamp) on a limited basis. ... Then the plan is for him, hopefully when he gets to training camp. ... He’ll be a participant just like everybody else.”
Diehards Line:
Cook tore the ACL in his left knee in a Week 4 game last October and missed the rest of his rookie season. Taken in the second round of the 2017 draft, Cook was injured when he went down without contact against Detroit. Since then, he’s been optimistic about making it all the way back. Cook said it’s “great” being back on the field with his teammates during spring drills. Fantasy owners will feel great if Cook makes good on participating in training camp. Stay tuned.
