The Dallas Cowboys have been dealt a tough blow as wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury. Cooks is expected to miss at least four games as he recovers from the injury, leaving a significant hole in the Cowboys’ receiving corps.
Cooks, who was acquired by the Cowboys in a trade with the Houston Texans earlier this year, was expected to be a key contributor to the team’s passing game. With his speed and playmaking ability, Cooks was seen as a valuable weapon for quarterback Dak Prescott to utilize in the passing game.
Unfortunately, Cooks’ injury will now force the Cowboys to look elsewhere for production at the wide receiver position. The team will likely turn to players like CeeDee Lamb, Amari Cooper, and Michael Gallup to pick up the slack in Cooks’ absence.
Losing Cooks for an extended period of time is a tough blow for the Cowboys, who were counting on him to be a big part of their offensive attack this season. However, the team will need to rally together and find ways to overcome his absence in order to remain competitive in the NFC East.
In the meantime, Cooks will focus on rehabbing his knee and working towards a speedy recovery so that he can return to the field as soon as possible. The Cowboys will be eagerly awaiting his return, as they look to get back on track and make a push for the playoffs this season.
