The Eagles signed Cooks to their practice squad Tuesday. Cooks spent most of the season with Jacksonville's practice squad and got elevated twice, compiling 10 offensive snaps and four special-teams snaps without recording any other stats during the two contests. He'll now provide Philadelphia with wide-receiver depth as part of the organization's practice squad. In related moves, the Eagles signed wideout Parris Campbell from their practice squad to their active roster and cut receiver Joseph Ngata from their practice squad.
Cooks reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Cooks didn't record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense and four snaps on special teams in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Texans. The wide receiver can be elevated one more time before Jacksonville would have to officially sign him to the active roster.
Cooks was elevated from the Jaguars' practice squad Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Houston. Cooks was previously elevated for Week 9, but he played only three offensive snaps and didn't record any stats against the Eagles. The San Jose State product played in nine games for Jacksonville as a rookie last year and tallied three catches on four targets for 38 yards. Cooks' opportunity Sunday comes as a result of Gabe Davis landing on IR due to a knee injury.
Cooks reverted to the Jaguars' practice squad Saturday, per the NFL's transaction log. Cooks and fellow practice squad wideout Austin Trammell were each elevated for Week 9 for the first time of the 2024 regular season. While Trammell saw 33 snaps on offense, Cooks had just three and the latter did not record a stat. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the rest of the year, Cooks and Trammell could both be elevated for Week 10 against the Vikings, especially if Gabe Davis (shoulder) remains sidelined.
Jacksonville elevated Cooks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Cooks is in line to make his regular-season debut Sunday after spending half of the campaign on the practice squad. Cooks and Austin Trammell could see snaps on offensive against the Eagles on Sunday if Brian Thomas (chest) and/or Gabe Davis (shoulder) are unable to play. Cooks appeared in nine regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2023 and finished with three catches (on four targets) for 38 yards.
The Jaguars signed Cooks to their practice squad Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. The San Jose State product didn't make the cut for Jacksonville's initial 53-man roster, but he's found a spot on the practice squad. Cooks appeared in nine games for the Jaguars in 2023, hauling in three of his four targets for 38 yards and no touchdowns while playing 147 total snaps (105 offensive and 42 on special teams).
Cooks was waived by the Jaguars on Tuesday. Cooks appeared in nine games with Jacksonville last season, making three catches on four targets for 38 yards, all of which were recorded in Week 16 against the Buccaneers. The 25-year-old could be a candidate to remain with the franchise as a member of its practice squad.
