Brandin Cooks is eager to return to the field, and it looks like he’ll get that opportunity on Thursday.
The Dallas Cowboys announced on Wednesday that they have officially activated the wide receiver from the injured list, and he is anticipated to play when the Cowboys face the New York Giants on Thanksgiving Day.
Cooks has been sidelined for the last seven games due to an infection in his knee following a procedure. He hasn’t played since the Cowboys’ 20-15 victory over the Giants in Week 4, marking two months without game action.
The Cowboys (4-7) look significantly different now compared to when Cooks last took the field. Their recent 34-26 win against the Washington Commanders ended a five-game losing streak and kept their slim playoff hopes alive. On Thursday, Cooks, 31, will be catching passes from someone other than Dak Prescott, as Cooper Rush will be starting his fourth consecutive game following Prescott’s season-ending hamstring surgery earlier this month.
Cooks began the 2024 season slowly, recording just nine receptions for 91 yards and one touchdown in the first four games. As an 11-year veteran with six seasons of over 1,000 receiving yards, he will be entering free agency after this season. To secure a strong market for himself in the offseason, he’ll need to finish the year on a high note.
