Dallas Cowboys starting wide receiver Brandin Cooks will not play in Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh and could miss more time because of an infection in his right knee, ESPN reported Wednesday.

The infection followed a medical procedure Cooks had on the knee while remaining in New York after the Cowboys’ 20-15 victory over the Giants last Thursday, per ESPN.

In four starts for the Cowboys (2-2), Cooks has nine receptions on 19 targets for 91 yards and one touchdown.

He caught 54 passes for 657 yards and eight TDs in 16 games (15 starts) in his first season with Dallas in 2023.

Cooks, 31, has 693 catches for 9,364 yards and 58 scores in 152 games (139 starts) with five teams since 2014. The Houston Texans traded him to Dallas for a 2023 fifth-round draft pick and a 2024 sixth-rounder.
