Injuries Affect NFL Teams in Practice

Wide receiver Brandin Cooks of the Dallas Cowboys left practice with a knee injury, raising concerns about the team's depth as he has been filling in for CeeDee Lamb, who is currently negotiating his contract. The severity of Cooks' injury remains uncertain, but reports suggest it may not be long-term. Meanwhile, Minnesota Vikings rookie Jordan Addison was carted off the field during practice due to an apparent leg injury, with the extent of the injury still unknown. In Pittsburgh, Steelers center Nate Herbig exited practice early with an arm injury, which could impact his position as the starting center ahead of rookie Zach Frazier. Additionally, Minnesota Gophers running back Darius Taylor limped off the field with a leg injury, but coach P.J. Fleck indicated it is likely not serious, despite fan skepticism given the team's recent injury history. The upcoming football season is crucial for both the Gophers and NFL teams, with injuries posing significant challenges to their rosters.
