Brandin Cooks - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Hauls in TD versus Cincinnati Cooks caught one of three targets for a three-yard touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Bengals.

Impact Cooks made the most of his lone catch, securing a third-quarter touchdown from Cooper Rush to tie the game at 17-17. In his second game back from a seven-game absence, Cooks' playing time also spiked to 60 percent of the offensive snaps after playing just 39 percent the previous week. Cooks will square off with Carolina's secondary in Week 15 next Sunday.

Full practice Friday Cooks (rest/knee) practiced without limitations Friday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cooks' limitations in Thursday's practice were primarily rest-related as he gets eased back in ahead of his second game back from a two-month absence due to a knee injury. Barring a setback Saturday, the veteran wideout should head into Monday's matchup with the struggling Bengals secondary sans an injury designation.

Scores key TD in return to action Cooks hauled in three of seven targets for 16 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 27-20 win against the Giants.

Impact In his first game action since Week 4, Cooks didn't seem to be on the same page with QB Cooper Rush for large portions of this Week 13 divisional clash, but the two eventually connected for a two-yard touchdown on the Cowboys' first possession of the second half to extend the lead to 20-10. And with Dallas clinging to a 27-20 score at the two-minute warning of the fourth quarter, they again hooked up for a three-yard gain on third-and-2 to effectively salt the game away. Cooks will aim for an improved rapport with Rush when the team next takes the field Monday, Dec. 9 versus the Bengals.

Gets all clear for return Cooks (knee), who was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, doesn't have a designation for Thursday's contest versus the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cooks last played Week 4 at the Giants, as he required an IR stint in the meantime due to an infection stemming from a knee procedure. He was listed as limited at walkthroughs Monday and Tuesday, but his ability to handle a full practice Wednesday indicates he should be able to handle a normal workload Week 13. Before he got injured, Cooks earned at least a 75 percent snap share in each of the first four games of the season, but he mustered just a 9-91-1 line on 19 targets working with Dak Prescott. With Prescott (hamstring) out for the season, Cooks will be on the receiving end of passes from Cooper Rush (knee).

NOVEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Activated from IR The Cowboys activated Cooks (knee) from injured reserve Thursday.

Impact The Cowboys listed Cook as a limited practice participant throughout last week and again this Monday and Tuesday. They've apparently seen enough to have him play for the first time since Week 4, although it's unclear if he'll have a full-time role Thursday against the Giants. Cooks took at least 79 percent of snaps over the Cowboys' first four games before suffering an infection in his knee during a minor medical procedure. He should be back Thursday after missing seven consecutive games.

Remains limited Tuesday Cooks (knee) remained limited in Tuesday's practice, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cooks is still on injured reserve but appears to be nearing a return after he was designated for return last week. He practiced on a limited basis all last week leading up to Week 12 against the Commanders, so it's unclear if he has a real chance to play Thursday against the Giants.

NOVEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Not returning in Week 12 Cooks (knee) was not activated by the Cowboys on Saturday and will not play against the Commanders on Sunday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact A right knee infection landed Cooks on injured reserve Oct. 5, and he's since missed more than the required four games. The veteran receiver was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and was able to participate in a limited fashion in all three of Dallas' practices this week, though Friday was a walkthrough session. Despite his return to practice, Cooks isn't ready to return to the field against Washington on Sunday, but there's a possibility he could be activated ahead of next Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Giants.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

May return Sunday Cooks (knee), who remains on injured reserve, is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cooks required an IR stint, starting Week 5, due to an infection that developed in his right knee following a surgical procedure. Since he was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, he sandwiched a pair of limited walkthroughs around Thursday's capped practice. The Cowboys will need to activate Cooks by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday in order for him to have a chance to play Sunday. If that comes to pass, he could be eased into the mix behind top WR CeeDee Lamb (back/foot), who followed an LP/DNP/FP practice regimen this week and doesn't have a game designation.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited Thursday Cooks (knee) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Joe Hoyt of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Cooks followed up Wednesday's capped walkthrough with another limited listing one day later. The Cowboys designated him for return from injured reserve Tuesday, and he's seeking his first game action since Week 4 after developing an infection in his right knee from a minor surgery. With CeeDee Lamb (back/foot) going from limited to no activity in the first two days of Week 12 prep, Cooks could be in line for a bigger role in the Dallas passing game if the team opts to activate him in advance of Sunday's contest is Washington.

NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited Cooks (knee) is listed as a limited participant after Wednesday's walk-through practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Cooks resumed practicing one day after the Cowboys designated him to return from injured reserve. There's a 21-day window in which he can practice without being activated to the roster, but head coach Mike McCarthy suggested Tuesday that Cooks could play as soon as Sunday against the Commanders. The 31-year-old didn't have much luck working with Dak Prescott (IR - hamstring) earlier this season and isn't likely to do much for fantasy managers now that the Cowboys have backup Cooper Rush starting at QB.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Resumes practicing Tuesday Dallas designated Cooks (knee) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact Cooks will resume practicing with the Cowboys on Wednesday, opening up a 21-day window for the team to evaluate him for a return to the 53-man roster. The veteran wideout hasn't suited up since the Cowboys' Sept. 26 win over the Giants after developing an infection on his right knee from a minor surgical procedure, and given the length of his absence, he may need more than one week of practice before Dallas is willing to clear him for game action. Whenever he's activated, Cooks should reclaim a regular spot in three-receiver sets alongside CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert.

Gearing up for return Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday that Cooks (knee) is getting close to a return from injured reserve and could be activated as soon as this week, Saad Yousuf of The At...

Impact Before becoming a realistic candidate to play this Sunday against the Commanders, Cooks will first have to return to practice, as the Cowboys have yet to open his 21-day evaluation window since the receiver landed on injured reserve Oct. 5 after developing an infection in his right knee following a procedure. McCarthy's comments suggest that Cooks is improving, but the team still may want to take a cautious approach in easing him back, especially with the 3-7 Cowboys beginning to fade from the NFC playoff picture following five consecutive losses. Cooks suited up in each of Dallas' first four games of the season and recorded nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown on 19 targets.

Not cleared to practice Wednesday Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that Cooks (knee) is progressing, but the receiver won't practice Wednesday, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Dallas has yet to open the 21-day evaluation window for Cooks, who was placed on injured reserve Oct. 5 due to an infection in his right knee that required a procedure. Though Cooks has missed the required four games while on IR, his absence from practice to begin Week 10 prep suggests that he's likely to remain out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
