Is Brandin Cooks Playing Today? (Latest Injury Update for Titans vs. Texans in NFL Week 8)
By Peter Dewey
The Houston Texans reportedly are willing to trade wide receiver Brandin Cooks, but that won't keep him out of the team's Week 8 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
Cooks, who is listed as questionable with a wrist injury, is expected to play on Sunday.
#Texans WR Brandin Cooks (wrist) was a late addition to the injury report after being a full participant on Friday. He's expected to play while being listed as questionable, source said.

Cooks' presence should help out Davis Mills this week, especially with wide receiver Nico Collins expected to miss this game.
Depending on the sportsbook, the Texans have moved to slight favorites or a pick'em now that the Titans are starting Malik Willis with Ryan Tannehill injured.
Best Brandin Cooks Prop Bets vs. Titans in NFL Week 8
I'd fade Cooks today in the receiving yards department, as his number at PointsBet (60.5) is simply too high.
Davis Mills has struggled to get the ball downfield to his top wideout, and Cooks hasn't gone over 57 receiving yards since Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Even though the targets will be there for the Texans' No. 1 receiver, I don't have confidence in him having a big day against this Titans team.
