Here is a list of the most significant NFL injuries in week four.
Dalvin Cook – RB – Minnesota Vikings
Dalvin Cook was off to a monstrous start for the Minnesota Vikings. He was the missing piece this offense needed to gell. On Sunday, during a heated contest with the Detroit Lions, Dalvin Cook suffered a non-contact knee injury.
Mike Zimmer concerned Dalvin Cook tore his ACL; MRI on Monday to see the full damage.

Julio Jones – WR – Atlanta Falcons
Julio Jones was banged up prior to Sunday’s contest against the Buffalo Bills. However, early in the first half, Jones took himself out of the game to have his hip evaluated by the training staff. After their evaluation, the training staff decided to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the game.

The Falcons have a bye in week five. Jones and the other injured Dirty Birds will use this extra week to recover for the remaining gauntlet that is the NFL season.
