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.

Impact Cook played every single defensive snap and finished tied for the fourth-most tackles on the Chiefs during Thursday's loss.

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. Cook has been a steady member of the Chiefs' secondary with 50 tackles (33 solo) and four pass breakups through 12 games.

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.
