MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Vikings cornerback Chris Cook has a broken wrist. Cook got hurt early in the third quarter Thursday night on a run by Tampa Bay rookie Doug Martin in the Buccaneers 36-17 win. Cook went to the locker room, and Martin took a screen pass 64 yards for a touchdown on the next play. Vikings rookie Josh Robinson took Cooks place for most of the rest of the game. Cook missed most of his rookie season because of meniscus injuries in both knees. Last year, he spent the last 10 games away from the team after his arrest on felony assault charges after an altercation with his girlfriend. Cook was later acquitted. He was hitting his stride this season, only to get hurt again. Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier had no timetable on Cooks recovery. cheap nfl jerseys .

"Out of the blue, coach Woody called me like, Young fella, what are you doing?" Wallace said of Mike Woodson. "Im like, Uh, you know, just down here enjoying life, enjoying the summer, down here with my mom, taking it easy," Wallace recalled. "Thats all I was doing pretty much." Woodson had something else in mind. The Knicks coach wanted depth in his frontcourt and remembered the success he and Wallace had in Detroit on Larry Browns 2004 NBA championship team. So they were back together Wednesday -- an older, mellowed Wallace ending a two-year retirement to sign with the Knicks. "We have a good history coming from Detroit," Wallace said. "We won one together, so he asked me if I still want to play. I said, Ill come up there and see what I can do for you." Woodson isnt sure what that might be, using the term "only time will tell" at least three times when asked about Wallaces potential. But the Knicks were young and thin in the frontcourt last season, so he figures its wise to give the four-time All-Star a shot. "The fact that hes asked to come out of retirement and play, for me its great to give him a shot because I remember the good times," Woodson said. "I dont know if he still has it yet until he gets out here and he starts working and playing, but only time will tell." Wallace said he decided in late August after a few conversations with Woodson to attempt the comeback. He cited his respect for the laid-back Woodson, an assistant under Brown whom Wallace credited with calming down the player who once racked up 40 technical fouls in a season. The 38-year-old Wallace last played for the Boston Celtics in the 2009-10 season. TTerms of his contract were not announced, but the Knicks could offer only the veterans minimum of about $1.dddddddddddd7 million. Wallace averaged 14.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 15 seasons. The temperamental 6-foot-11 forward was whistled for 308 technical fouls, according to STATS, LLC, easily the most in the league during that span. He led the league seven times, including his final season. But with plenty of grey sprinkled in his hair, Wallace says his clashes with referees and the media are a thing of the past. "Im too old for that," Wallace said. "My kids are older now, so Im too old for that." The former North Carolina Tar Heel had returned to Chapel Hill, working out with college players and competing in pro-am leagues. He now takes his place with a group of reserves some 20 years older than the guys hes been around. Kurt Thomas turns 40 on Thursday, Jason Kidd is 39 and Marcus Camby also 38. Woodson isnt expecting Wallace to play a big role, and Wallace understands hes not coming to New York to have one. If he makes the team, hell back up centre Tyson Chandler and forward Amare Stoudemire, bringing his tough, interior defence and good perimeter shooting that made him such a versatile player. "This is not something thats definite," Woodson said. "Its an opportunity to look at him and see what he has left, and if he has something left I think it can be a positive for our ballclub." Wallace said he retired in 2010 for personal reasons and assumed it was for good. But he said those concerns were resolved, and hes eager to play again after not seriously considering it before Woodsons call. "Hes told me his ideas. Hes told me his plans, and I just want to see if I can fit in there somewhere," Wallace said. "Like they say: Get in where you fit in." ' ' '
