Promptly ruled out
Cook (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Cook totaled 10 carries for 39 yards and six catches for 64 yards before being carted off in the second half. He also fumbled on the play on which he got hurt. Cook needing the cart and being promptly ruled out afterward suggest his absence may extend past the remainder of this game, and the team will likely provide an update on the severity of his injury soon.
