Former University of Minnesota running back David Cobb said Friday he will work out with the Vikings on Saturday.

The Vikings are looking for a replacement for Bishop Sankey. A source said the running back suffered a torn right ACL in Thursday’s preseason opener at Buffalo and is out for the season.

“It would definitely be a dream come true,” Cobb said of signing with Minnesota. “I’m always confident, but it will be up to (the Vikings).”

Vikings elevate CB Mark Fields from practice squad for Sunday’s game

The Loop NFL Picks: Week 2 Cobb rushed for 146 yards as a rookie with Tennessee in 2015. He spent time last year on Pittsburgh’s practice squad and was on Chicago’s roster earlier this year.

Cobb said the Vikings on Saturday also will work out running back Bronson Hill, who was undrafted in 2015 out of Eastern Michigan and had two carries for 11 yards last season with Jacksonville.

Cobb, Hill and Josh Robinson all worked out last Tuesday with Detroit. Cobb said the Lions remain a possibility, and he likely will sign with the first team that wants him.

“They’re still in the mix,” Cobb said. “They’re still working out a couple of things, but when an opportunity comes you’ve got to take it.”

Cobb was teammates with Sankey on the Titans in 2015, and he has talked to him since his injury. Sankey was hurt in the third quarter Thursday and helped off the field.

“When I cut, I felt something,” Sankey said after the game.

Sankey was on crutches and wearing a brace as he left New Era Field. An MRI on Friday revealed the torn ACL.

“He’s always been a good friend,’’ Cobb said. “Just seeing him go down after he got off to a real good start is unfortunate. But he’s keeping his head up.’’

The Vikings have been thin lately at running back. In addition to Sankey being hurt, Latavius Murray and Jerick McKinnon were unable to play against the Bills.

Murray practiced for the first time last Monday since undergoing surgery March 22 on his right ankle. McKinnon has been bothered by a right leg injury. He has been practicing some but said he’s not 100 percent.

Cobb rushed for a Gophers season-record 1,626 yards in 2014. He was taken by the Titans in the fifth round of the 2015 draft.

Cobb has had some nagging injuries in the NFL, including a calf problem that cost him half his rookie year. But he said he’s now feeling fine.

“I just got to show them that I’m healthy, going full speed and can play,” Cobb said of Saturday’s workout. “You just want to go out and dominate.”

Cobb flew in Friday from his native Texas. He said he brought plenty of gear in the event he is signed by the Vikings.
