Vikings Work Out Kerryon Johnson Tuesday
3 years agoThe Minnesota Vikings had free-agent running back Kerryon Johnson in for a workout on Tuesday. Starting running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) suffered a dislocated left shoulder and a torn labrum in the Week 12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers and is expected to miss at least the next two games, leaving the Vikings looking for more RB depth behind Alexander Mattison and rookie Kene Nwangwu. With Cook sidelined for the next couple of weeks, expect Mattison to see most of the backfield work with Nwangwu serving as the change-of-pace back. With great matchups upcoming against the winless Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers, Mattison needs to be picked up in all leagues (if he's available). He'll have RB1 upside in Week 13 against the Lions.
