Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette have each been ruled out for the third consecutive week with hamstring injuries.

Cook will be held out for the fourth time in five games, while Fournette will miss his fifth game in seven weeks.

Cook last played during a Sept. 27 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, rushing for 20 yards on 10 carries. Latavius Murray is expected to gain the majority of the touches out of the backfield versus the New York Jets in his absence.

Fournette last rushed for 30 yards on 11 carries in a Sept. 30 victory over the Jets. T.J. Yeldon is in line to receive the bulk of Jacksonville's carries Sunday against the Houston Texans.
