Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been officially ruled out for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a knee infection following a surgical procedure. Team coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that Cooks is facing an uncertain recovery timeline and could miss more than just this week. This injury adds to the Cowboys' concerns as they may also be without key players Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence. The team is now under increased pressure to consider trading for additional receiving strength as they navigate through this challenging situation.
