Report: Cowboys place Cooks on IR
The Dallas Cowboys' injury woes continue to grow.
Dallas placed wide receiver Brandin Cooks on injured reserve Saturday, meaning he'll miss at least the team's next four games, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Todd Archer.
Cooks injured his knee during last Thursday's win over the New York Giants. He then received meniscus injections that ended up infecting his right knee, which led to the wideout reportedly undergoing a procedure.
The 31-year-old has caught nine passes for 91 yards and one touchdown this season. His absence could make the Cowboys' WR depth issue even bigger, as Dallas is left with Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, and Jalen Brooks behind All-Pro wideout CeeDee Lamb.
In Week 5, the Cowboys will play the Pittsburgh Steelers without top edge rushers Micah Parsons (ankle) and DeMarcus Lawrence (foot), who also sustained injuries against the Giants. Star cornerback Trevon Diggs is listed as questionable due to an ankle ailment.
Lawrence, who was also recently placed on injured reserve, is expected to miss four-to-eight weeks.
The Cowboys' next four opponents are the Steelers, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers, and Atlanta Falcons. Dallas has a bye in Week 7.
