Police arrested Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook on domestic assault charges early Saturday, meaning he’s all but certain to miss this weekend’s game against the Green Bay Packers.
Cook was booked into Hennepin County Jail, where he is being held with out bail, according to the Star Tribune. He will not seem in court till Monday morning.
The Vikings wouldn’t confirm to NFL.com on Saturday that Cook has officially been ruled out.
Eden Prairie police spokeswoman Katie Beal says the 24-year-old was arrested on two domestic assault chargers with no incident right after a person referred to as 911 about 2 a.m. Saturday to report hearing people across the street yelling and screaming.
Cook is in his second year with the Vikings and was expected to begin against the undefeated Packers in location of the injured Antoine Winfield. Cook’s absence leaves the Vikings’ secondary very thin.
The team issued a statement in response to the news: “The Minnesota Vikings are conscious of the incident involving Chris Cook. We take this matter really seriously and are still gathering all the details of the incident. We will not have any further comment at this time.”
In March, Cook was accused of pulling a gun on a neighbor during a verbal altercation while near his mother’s home in Lynchburg, Va. He was identified not guilty on a misdemeanor gun charge.

Just days after he tied the record for the longest field objective in NFL history, Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski is in trouble with the law, stemming from an incident last year.
The Contra Costa Times reports that Janikowski has been charged with misdemeanor battery and false imprisonment against a woman stemming from a 2010 incident.
According to the report, the woman says Janikowski used “force and violence” upon her, but there are no much more particulars than that. Janikowski and the Raiders had been unavailable for comment.
Janikowski has had many legal difficulties but none in the last couple of years. He was arrested 4 times although a player at Florida State and has been arrested three times since the Raiders drafted him in 2000. His most recent arrest was in 2003 and related to a fight at a restaurant. Those charges had been later dropped.

Per the report, the incident occurred in a parking lot on Evelyn Byrd Avenue in Harrisonburg. Jordan was released without having bail earlier nowadays.
Particulars are sketchy for now. Hopefully, he wasn’t waving a knife prior to accidentally throwing it at someone.
