Dallas Cowboys' new boy, Brandin Cooks, is one of the more respected wide receivers in the NFL. Unfortunately, these days, he receives more slander than he receives the ball. Cooks has been cooking wide receivers since he was drafted by the New Orleans Saints in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft.
One of the main reasons Cooks has been getting some shade is his injury history, which needs a closer look now that he's on America's team. So without further ado, let's see whether Cooks' health should be a concern for his new team.
Should Brandin Cooks' health be a concern for Dallas Cowboys?
Yes, it should be, as every injury-prone player should be treated with care, especially when they move to a scrutinized franchise like the Dallas Cowboys.
Cooks has suffered six injuries since he got drafted into the National Football League. His first injury came on November 16, 2014, when he sustained a hand metacarpal fracture. He was subsequently placed on IR, missing the rest of the season.
On December 9, 2015, he suffered a cranial head concussion. This head cranial concussion injury has been the bane of Cooks' NFL career, as he has suffered from it at least thrice since entering the league.
He has also endured quad leg strains and leg calf pulls at different periods in his career. All these injuries have made Brandin Cooks miss 14 games since his rookie season.
How will Brandin Cooks' arrival alter Dallas Cowboys' depth chart?
Cooks will likely become the Dallas Cowboys' number two wide receiver, behind the famous number one option, CeeDee Lamb.
While Cooks has significantly more NFL experience, Lamb is a much better pass catcher and has the Pro Bowl nods to show for it. As such, CeeDee Lamb will remain Dak Prescott's number-one target on the Dallas offense, and Cooks will help the team be less predictable in the 2023 season.
Apart from Cooks and Lamb, the Cowboys also have stellar receiving options like Tony Pollard from running back, Michael Gallup, KaVontae Turpin and even Jalen Tolbert. Of course, none of these players are Brandin Cooks, but they deserve some respect as well.
The 2023 season will be interesting for the Cowboys as the Jerry Jones' owned team look to finally end their Super Bowl drought.
