Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook, nursing a shoulder injury, was a full participant at practice Thursday in London.

Cook lost a fumble after a 2-yard gain late in the third quarter of Sunday's win against Detroit and immediately went to the sideline medical tent, where he was ruled out for the rest of the game.

Alexander Mattison had seven carries for 28 yards and a touchdown as Cook's replacement, but all signs point to Minnesota having Cook for Week 4 when the Vikings (2-1) face the New Orleans Saints (1-2).

Cook, 27, finished with 17 carries for 96 yards and a touchdown. He gained 107 yards on 26 carries in the first two games.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Cook ran for more than 1,000 yards in each of the past three seasons. He passed the 5,000-yard rushing milestone for his career (5,023) in the 28-24 win against the Lions.
