After he developed symptoms, Cooks had surgery to clean out the infection in Dallas over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Cook is out for Sunday&#8217;s Week 5 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cooks could miss more time if the knee doesn&#8217;t heal.<\/p>\n<p>Cooks, 31, has nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown in four games this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys acquired Cooks from the Houston Texans during the 2023 NFL offseason. The Cowboys traded a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2024 sixth-round pick to the Texans for Cooks.<\/p>\n<p>Serving as the Cowboys&#8217; second option, Cooks caught 54 catches for 657 and eight touchdowns in 2023.<\/p>\n<h2>Cowboys WR Depth Chart<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brandin Cooks&#39; knee injury sure comes at an interesting time, as the Cowboys are considered one of the favorites to trade for Davante Adams. Jerry Jones better do EVERYTHING HE CAN to get Adams. Because Dallas has the cap room.
