The Texans and Cooks agreed to a two-year contract extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The move puts to bed rumors that Cooks could be on the move this offseason and locks him in with Houston through the 2024 season. Only 28 years old, he's been a member of four organizations in his eight-year career, going for at least 1,000 yards in six of the last seven seasons and surpassing the 80-catch mark four times during that span. Cooks will continue to serve as the unquestioned No. 1 option for the Texans' passing game moving forward.

Cooks was forced out of Sunday's game against the Titans with a knee injury. Prior to his exit from the contest, Cooks caught three of his four targets for 26 yards. With Chris Conley (knee) inactive, Nico Collins profiles as Houston's top wideout in Cooks' absence Sunday.
-
Cooks (illness) hauled in seven of 11 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-7 loss to San Francisco. Cooks returned from a one-game absence on the reserve/COVID-19 list, staying hot after posting two strong fantasy showings in his previous two contests. The veteran accounted for the majority of the receiving unit's statistics, as only one other wideout (Nico Collins) finished with more than one reception. Davis Mills has struggled at times this year, but he has clearly made an effort to get the ball into Cooks' hands, which is what the receiver's fantasy managers like to see heading into the season finale against the Titans.
-
Houston activated Cooks (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports. Cooks was spotted on the field at practice earlier Wednesday, which foreshadowed his return from the list. Now that he's officially back on the 53-man roster, Cooks is poised to serve as Houston's No. 1 receiver Sunday against the 49ers. Between his previous two games working with quarterback Davis Mills, Cooks put together a 15-203-2 receiving line on 21 targets.
-
Cooks (illness) was present for Wednesday's practice, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports. The same applies to kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn, which sets the stage for the duo, among others, to be officially activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. Cooks was unavailable for this past Sunday's 41-29 win over the Chargers.
