Overview
- Brandin Cooks worked out at the Ravens' facility on Thursday and no contract had been announced after the visit.
- Baltimore placed rookie starter Ja'Kobi Lane on injured reserve and has listed Zay Flowers as limited with a hamstring, creating an immediate need at wide receiver.
- Cooks remains a free agent after finishing last season with the Buffalo Bills and was brought in as a short-term option rather than a guaranteed signing.
- Across 12 NFL seasons Cooks has 734 receptions, 9,811 receiving yards and 60 touchdowns and is known as a deep threat who has produced multiple 1,000-yard campaigns.
- Teams often audition veterans on short notice for quick depth so the tryout could lead to a temporary roster move for Baltimore or simply serve as emergency cover while the team monitors injuries.
