According to a source who spoke with Adam Schefter of ESPN on Saturday night, wide receiver Brandin Cooks of the Dallas Cowboys, who was listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, is not expected to play in the game.
Cooks, who is 29, suffered a mild sprain to his medial collateral ligament in one knee during the game against the New York Giants in Week 1. Cooks has two catches for a total of 22 yards in his first game with the Cowboys (1-0), his first season with the team. He participated in 34 of the Cowboys’ 58 offensive snaps, which was good for fourth most among receivers and running backs for the team.
Cooks did not participate in any practices during the past week as he continued his recuperation off to the side. However, on Wednesday, Cooks stated that he was feeling well and added, “If I’m out there, there’s no limitation.”
Cooks had 57 receptions for 699 yards and three touchdowns with the Houston Texans in the previous season, which was his third with the team. However, he was sidelined for a total of four games throughout that season, three of which were due to a calf issue.
Because of Cooks’ absence, the Cowboys will have CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup as their only active wide receivers, but they will also have Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, and Jalen Brooks, who was inactive last week, ready to play.
Aaron Rodgers was knocked out of the Jets’ season opener against the Buffalo Bills just four snaps into his debut Monday night, but New York (1-0) rebounded for a 22-16 overtime victory despite losing their starting quarterback.
It’s possible that one of Dak Prescott’s most important weapons won’t be available for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets for the Cowboys.
It has been reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN that wide receiver Brandin Cooks will not participate in Sunday’s game against the Jets. On Friday’s report of the team’s injuries, Cooks was noted as questionable with a Grade 1 MCL sprain. He is now dealing with this issue.
After missing Dallas’ walkthrough session on Wednesday, head coach Mike McCarthy determined that wide receiver Brandin Cooks was healthy enough to play in Sunday’s 40-0 victory over the Giants. Cooks played in 34 offensive snaps, which was the third most on the team.
“He hurt it during the game,” stated McCarthy. I won’t be able to tell you the precise play, but he’s holding his own.
Cooks was targeted four times and ended up catching two receptions for a total of 22 yards. He was also called for a pass interference penalty in the second quarter.
Cornerback C.J. Goodwin and center Brock Hoffman were both promoted from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. Zack Martin, who was listed as questionable to start Friday due to a groin issue, is likely going to be allowed to play now that the Cowboys have elevated only one offensive lineman instead of both of them.
