ESPN - Police have arrested Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook on domestic battery charges that could cause him to miss this weekend's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Katie Beal says the 24-year-old was
arrested without incident after someone called 911 at about 2 a.m. local
time Saturday to report hearing people across the street yelling and
screaming.
Cook is in his second year with the Vikings and was expected to start
Sunday's game against the undefeated Packers in place of the injured Antoine Winfield. Cook's absence would leave the Vikings' secondary extremely thin.
Probably not the best news for the Vikings considering they are playing the best team in the NFL and starting a rookie quarterback Christian Ponder. Chris Cook should have time to Ponder his decision to beat his family while he is sitting in jail. The Vikings sports one of the worst pass defenses in the league and Aaron Rodgers should have a field day on Sunday. He is already predicted for 375 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. Can't get much better than that.
