FRISCO, Texas (AP) \u2014 The Dallas Cowboys placed Brandin Cooks on injured reserve Saturday with a knee issue, sidelining their No. 2 receiver behind All-Pro CeeDee Lamb for at least four games.<\/p>\n

Cooks was already out for a visit to Pittsburgh<\/a> on Sunday night, but now will miss at least three more games. The 31-year-old will be eligible to return Nov. 10 against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Cooks developed an infection in his knee after a procedure following Dallas\u2019 20-15 win at the New York Giants on Sept. 26. The infection required a follow-up procedure.<\/p>\n

The knee had been bothering Cooks going back to training camp. He left California a few days early, but hadn\u2019t missed any time this season. Cooks has nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

The absence of Cooks will open the door for rookie sixth-round pick Ryan Flournoy to make his NFL debut. Flournoy was inactive the first four weeks.<\/p>\n

Jalen Tolbert, who had career highs with six catches for 82 yards in a Week 2 loss to New Orleans, figures to step into Cooks\u2019 role behind Lamb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
