Dallas Cowboys Place Brandin Cooks on Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a significant setback as wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been placed on injured reserve due to an infection in his right knee following a recent procedure. Cooks will miss at least the next four games, making his eligibility to return on November 10th. This injury compounds the team's challenges as they prepare to face tough opponents like the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Lions, and the San Francisco 49ers, all while already missing key defensive players such as Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. The Cowboys, currently with a 2-2 record, must adapt quickly, likely relying on players like Jalen Tolbert and CeeDee Lamb to step up in Cooks' absence. With Super Bowl aspirations, the team may also explore potential trades before the NFL deadline to bolster their roster. The matchup against the Steelers marks the first time the two teams will meet in Prime Time since 1982.
