Officially ruled out Cook (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Impact The obvious becomes official, leaving Alexander Mattison as the lead man in the Minnesota backfield, with Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah being the depth options. A Week 7 bye could allow Cook to avoid any additional absences, perhaps returning as soon as Week 8 against the Packers (Nov. 1). He hasn't been able to practice since suffering an adductor strain in the second quarter of a Week 5 loss to the Seahawks.

Skipping another practice Cook (groin) won't participate in Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Impact The early expectation following Cook's departure from Sunday's loss to the Seahawks was that the running back would be sidelined for the Vikings' Week 6 game against the Falcons, and there's been little change on that front over the past few days. With back-to-back absences from practice to begin the week, Cook may need to log a limited workout Friday just to take a questionable designation into the weekend. Alexander Mattison would be primed for the lead role out of the Minnesota backfield if Cook ends up sitting out as anticipated.

Not practicing Cook (groin) isn't taking part in Wednesday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact This was fully expected after the running back was diagnosed with an abductor strain. The Vikings figure to prepare Alexander Mattison for the starting job Week 6 against Atlanta, but there is a chance Cook avoids any additional missed time beyond this coming Sunday, with a well-timed Week 7 bye working in his favor.
