Brandin Cooks won't Play Sunday for the Houston Texans
Brandin Cooks isn’t expected to play Sunday for the Houston Texans, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Texans WR Brandin Cooks not practicing today, doesn?t project for return against Cowboys
— Brooks Kubena (@BKubena) December 9, 2022
This will be the second straight game Cooks missed due to the calf injury. The Texans’ other top wide receiver Nico Collins is also expected to miss the game due to a foot injury. The Texans announced earlier this week that they would bench Kyle Allen and go back to Davis Mills as starting quarterback. Who Mills will be throwing to remains to be seen. The Texans had the deck stacked against them in the first place in playing the Dallas Cowboys, but now without their two top WRs, this game could get out of hand quickly. Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett are the likely starters for the Texans.
The Texans have little incentive to win any games as they want the top overall pick in next year’s draft to select who they hope will be their future QB.
The Texans are +17.5-point underdogs (-118) in this contest and are +1040 on the money line. The game has an over/under of 44.5, over (-104), and under (-118). You can find the lines and props for this game and all others on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
