Vikings rookie CB Chris Cook, who had won the starting CB job opposite Antoine Winfield, will not make the start against New Orleans, as it was revealed he has a torn meniscus in his knee.
↵Now, a few days after a solid trade that brought wide receiver Greg Camarillo to Minnesota, CB has gone to a position perilously short on depth, as the VIkings traded veteran CB Benny Sapp to Miami to get Camarillo.
↵With Cedric Griffin still on the mend, it looks like veteran Lito Sheppard will get the start, with Asher Allen moving into the nickel back role.
↵Sheppard has not looked impressive during the pre-season, and with New Orleans looming on the horizon, he needs to step up his game, and fast.
