Veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks, as expected, is active after missing the Philadephia Eagles game for personal reasons after voicing his displeasure at not being traded at the NFL deadline. He was replaced as team captain by two-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil.
Cooks became emotional at the NFL trade deadline due to his displeasure when it expired with no trade after the Texans held discussions with multiple teams with no deal reached primarily due to their asking price -- a second-round draft pick and a fourth-round selection, per league sources -- and his $18 million fully guaranteed 2023 salary.
Cooks leads the Texans with 32 receptions for 354 yards and one touchdown on 53 targets, considerably less involvement than a year ago when he caught 90 passes for 1,037 yards and six touchdowns on 134 targets. He has a long reception of 44 yards, an average of 50.6 yards per game, a catch percentage of 60.4 percent and an average of 6.7 yards per target.
The Texans held discussions and drew inquiries from multiple teams, including the Dallas Cowboys late in the process, per a league source. “Absolutely, exactly, that’s our teammate, that’s my brother,” offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil said. “I’m always going to love Brandin Cooks. So, open arms all day. That’s my guy.”
