Impact Though there had been previous speculation that the running back may hold out, Cook relayed Friday that he never considered not reporting to training camp. In the meantime, the 2017 second-rounder said he's focused on his Week 1 prep, while the Vikings and his representation continue to discuss his contract. Under the terms of his current deal, the 25-year-old is slated to make $1.33 million in the final year of his rookie pact. Cook is coming off a strong 2019 showing in which he logged 1,135 yards on 250 carries (4.5 YPC), in addition to 13 TDs, while adding 53 catches for 519 yards in 14 games.

Reports to training camp Cook reported to training camp Tuesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Per Cronin, Cook arrived early in the day to get his first COVID-19 test. The running back will then presumably participate in the team's virtual meetings in the afternoon. Though Cook reported to camp on time, his contract issues have not been resolved, with Chad Graff of The Athletic noting that it remains unclear "how involved Cook will be in the actual on-field part of training camp if he remains without a new deal."

Training camp status disputed Cooks' agent, Zac Hiller, refuted a report indicating that Cook told running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu he was planning to report to training camp Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN...
Impact Saturday has been a mess of miscommunication between Cook and the team through the media, which started with coach Mike Zimmer saying in the morning that Cook told him he would be reporting to camp Tuesday, which Hiller refuted later in the day. Another report indicated Cook relayed said information to Polamalu instead of Zimmer, which Hiller also says did not happen. Cook previously indicated he would hold out until he receives a "reasonable" extension, but Saturday's back and forth has been an unexpected curveball with training camp on the horizon. We'll find out Tuesday if Cook plans to follow through on the holdout.

Still expected in camp Cook told running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu he plans to report to training camp Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Coach Mike Zimmer said earlier Saturday that Cook told him he would report to camp on time, but Cook's agent, Zac Hiller, refuted that information from Zimmer later in the day. The 25-year-old apparently had a similar conversation with his position coach, who then talked to Zimmer. Cook previously said he wouldn't report until he receives a "reasonable" extension, but the holdout penalties under the new CBA are much harsher than the previous agreement. Regardless of Saturday's "he said, he said" situation, things should receive some clarity soon with the Vikings only a couple days from the start of camp.
