Another solid season in 2025 Cook recorded 85 tackles (50 solo) and six passes defensed in 17 games with Kansas City in 2025.

Impact After emerging as a starter last season, Cook remained one of the Chiefs' top producers in their defensive backfield in 2025, notching new career highs in total tackles and in passes defensed. It might have been a bit disappointing that he could not come away with any interceptions, but he almost certainly did enough in the final year of his rookie deal to earn a second NFL contract and a big raise, whether that be in Kansas City or elsewhere. He is currently on track to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

No injury tag Cook (ankle) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact Cook suffered an ankle injury during last week's loss to the Cowboys and only played 12 defensive snaps as a result. However, it appears this injury won't be an issue moving forward.

Avoids high-ankle sprain Cook, who sustained an ankle injury in Thursday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys, avoided a high-ankle sprain, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Despite the encouraging injury update, the Chiefs are likely to proceed cautiously with Cook given his significant ankle injury in 2023, which sidelined him for the final nine games of the season. He's appeared in all 12 of Kansas City's contests this year, recording 50 total tackles and four passes defensed. If inactive for the Week 13 matchup against the Texans, Jaden Hicks will likely to step in and start at free safety.

Three tackles in opener Cook recorded three tackles in Friday's 27-21 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Cook played a decreased role late in the 2024 season, raising some questions about his usage to begin 2025. While it wasn't an excellent statistical performance, Cook was clearly Kansas City's primary free safety and played all 65 defensive snaps. Cook should have the chance to be more productive moving forward.
