Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook and defensive end Everson Griffen are out for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

Cook left the overtime tie at Green Bay last week with a hamstring injury he described as a cramp. But Cook was unable to complete a practice this week, giving way to backup Latavius Murray.

Griffen was also out of practice on Friday and ruled out for Week 3. He's dealing with a toe injury.

Because Cook is coming back from a season-ending knee injury sustained in 2017 as a rookie, the Vikings are likely to be overly cautious with any injury.

Cook has 26 carries for 78 yards (3.0-yard average) this season, and Murray has 15 carries for 61 yards (4.1).
