Cooks Emerges as 49ers' Key Receiver Option After Samuel's Hamstring Injury
Brandin Cooks has become the primary backup wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers following Deebo Samuel's hamstring injury in Week 5. Cooks, who joined the team's practice squad in September, caught a touchdown pass in his first game against Seattle. With multiple other receivers injured, the 49ers are relying heavily on Mike Evans and Cooks to sustain their offense.
