Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is expected to be sidelined week six against Atlanta.

Cook is dealing with an adductor strain in his groin which kept him out during the stretch on Monday Night Football against Seattle.

Makes sense for Minnesota who are playing the caution role giving Cook rest this week against the sloppy 0-5 Falcons, and they have a bye week after.

Backup RB Alexander Mattison will will look to receive a heavy workload after running for 112 yards on 20 carries on Monday night.
