Head coach Mike McCarthy delivered some positive news regarding Cooks' status and others following a bunch of players sitting out of practice this week:

"I think everyone's gonna progress," said McCarthy. "We're not feeling like we're gonna leave anybody home, as of our last conversation. I think we're gonna be OK there."
