Dalvin Cook left the game for the Minnesota Vikings in the third quarter on Sunday afternoon after his knee buckled on a non-contact play and Mike Zimmer has dished on the latest.

The head coach told radio sideline reporter Greg Coleman that the team fears an ACL injury to the rookie running back and that he will have an MRI to assess the damage on Monday.

Cook was spotted on crutches in the locker room after the game and wearing a knee brace, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon took over in the backfield after Cook left. The Vikings would lose 14-7 to fall to 2-2 on the season.
