Feb 15, 2023 9:30 AM

Dalvin Cook underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a shoulder injury that the Minnesota Vikings said was "sustained over the past few seasons."

The Vikings called the surgery "successful" and said Cook "is expected to make a full recovery prior to the start of the regular season."

Cook has dealt with chronic shoulder injuries dating back to his time at Florida State. A 2019 injury, which was reported was a "broken shoulder," forced him to miss the final two games of that season. A related injury forced him to miss some time in 2021 as well.
