Contract restructured Cooks agreed to restructure his contract Tuesday, converting roughly $831,111 of his base salary into a signing bonus, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact The transaction creates $554,000 in cap space for the Texans. Cooks has drawn double-digit targets in each of the first two weeks of the 2022 season, proving that he remains Davis Mills' go-to wideout. The 28-year-old will get another chance to produce, and potentially score his first touchdown of the year, in Chicago on Sunday.

Double-digit looks in loss Cooks secured four of 10 targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact Cooks finished tied with Nico Collins in receptions and also paced the Texans in targets on a busy afternoon. Through two games, the veteran speedster appears to once again be Davis Mills' favorite target, already having garnered a whopping 22 looks in that span. Cooks' next opportunity to build on what is now an 11-136 line comes in a Week 3 road interconference clash with the Bears at Soldier Field.

Sits out Friday Cooks did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Rams.
Impact Cooks was idle for a second consecutive preseason game, but this should not be cause for concern. Without Cooks, Nico Collins became the top receiver and showed up with four catches on six targets for 48 yards and an impressive touchdown catch on a 50-50 ball. It's unclear if Cooks will be held out of the third preseason game coming up Thursday against San Francisco, but it would not be a shock if the Texans keep their top offensive threat under wraps instead of exposing him to needless contact.

Not likely to play Saturday Cooks isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Saints, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact Among the Texans' skill positions, only running back Rex Burkhead is expected to join Cooks in street clothes. With Cooks unavailable to the offense, Nico Collins, Chris Conley and Chris Moore, among others, are the next players up at wide receiver.
