Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien provided positive news in Monday morning’s presser.
O’Brien gave an update on receiver Brandin Cooks, who was a game-time decision against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1 with a quad injury. Cooks played the game and caught two passes for 20 yards on five targets.
According to the coach and general manager, Cooks is “on the upswing.” With 10 days off between games, the Texans get an early mini-bye to start the season, which bodes well for getting Cooks at peak performance.
The Texans host the Baltimore Ravens at NRG Stadium for Week 2. Quarterback Deshaun Watson will need his full complement of targets to keep pace with the Ravens’ offense led by Lamar Jackson, who completed 20-of-25 for 275 yards and a touchdown.
