Rams WR Brandin Cooks says he will play again this season

There’s a lot of concern surrounding Brandin Cooks after he suffered his second concussion of the season in Week 8. He remains in the concussion protocol and was ruled out for Sunday’s game as he meets with specialists for the second time in Pittsburgh.

It’s unknown exactly when he’ll be back on the field, but he shared a post on Instagram declaring that he’ll return this season. In the caption, he wrote, “Can’t wait to get back on the field this year.”

If you let em! They will write your story for you. Don’t stop until you reach your final destination. Don’t let anyone or anything lead you off course. You stay firmly at the helm until your journey is a success. Whether some like it or not I’m far from that end destination when it comes to this game. I’m thankful that this soon will be something in the past. Time and time again my God is faithful and blessed nothing serious. Can’t wait to get back on the field this year. Like my good ole pal Spongebob Squarepants says “I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready…”

When a player suffers two concussions in a season and four in less than two years, it’s hard not to think about his future after football. Fans have wondered whether Cooks should play in the NFL again, but it’s clear he’s not walking away from the game just yet.

This season, Cooks has caught 27 passes for 402 yards and one touchdown. Josh Reynolds will replace him in the starting lineup.
