Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks won't play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Per ESPN's Field Yates, Cooks wasn't activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list by the Texans.
As of Thursday, ESPN's Sarah Barshop noted Houston had 23 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list. The team has been operating under the NFL's intensive protocols as a result of the situation.
Cooks has quietly developed into one of the NFL's most reliable wideouts. He entered 2019 with four consecutive seasons of at least 1,000 yards spanning time with the New Orleans Saints, New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, and he recorded 29 touchdowns over that span.
