Chris Cook Reinstated By Vikings, Won’t Play Until Felony Assault Charge Resolved

“We think it’s best for him to really focus on the legal matters and not be a part of what we are doing right now, and that’s what he believes, along with his agent, as well,” Frazier said.

“He believes he needs to focus on his case which is a very serious matter as we all know. It’s something organizationally we were all very concerned about and we want him to put his energy and efforts into that case.”

Cook allegedly became upset when he discovered his girlfriend had spoken to an ex-boyfriend. From the AP:

This is Cook’s second brush with the law this year. He was arrested in March after allegedly brandishing a gun during an argument with a neighbor in Virginia. Cook, who has a concealed weapons permit, denied the charges, which were eventually dropped. That case came down to one man’s word against another. This case features a bloodied and bruised woman who’s cooperating with the investigation.
