Cowboys’ Brandin Cooks out for Steelers game because of knee issue

New York Times  

By Jon Machota, Saad Yousuf and Cale Clinton The Dallas Cowboys ruled out wide receiver Brandin Cooks for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of what head coach Mike McCarthy labeled a “knee issue.” Cooks, 31, has an infection in his right knee, which developed after he had a procedure following the Cowboys’ win over the New York Giants on Thursday, ESPN reported. Since joining the team, Cooks has been the Cowboys’ second-most targeted wide receiver behind CeeDee Lamb. Despite struggles through the first four games of this season, Cooks is tied with Jalen Tolbert for the second-most targets among Cowboys wide receivers at 19. But it’s far more likely that the Cowboys focus on their own roster and use this situation to give more opportunities to wide receivers like Tolbert, Jalen Brooks, KaVontae Turpin and Ryan Flournoy.
