On Saturday, Vikings cornerback Chris Cook was arrested on multiple assault charges. The run in with the law left him in jail, and not on the field against the Packers on Sunday.
Three days later, heās now out of a job for the foreseeable future while facing possible time behind bars. It hasnāt been a good week for the second-year pro.
After being formally charged with felony domestic assault by strangulation on Tuesday, the Vikings suspended Cook indefinitely without pay, the Associated Press reports.
