Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Shifts to IR

Cooks (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

While Cooks' right knee operation earlier this week seemingly came out of nowhere, Saturday's designation is hardly surprising considering the severity of the aforementioned event. Expect Jalen Tolbert to step into a prominent role opposite CeeDee Lamb as a featured pass catcher, with tight end Jake Ferguson also in the mix as a significant target.
