Chiefs DB Bryan Cook may have avoided a severe ankle injury in Week 13

The Kansas City Chiefs were beaten physically on the scoreboard last Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, with essential players going down with injuries. A specific injury that caused plenty of concern was in the defensive secondary regarding starting safety Bryan Cook.

Cook went down with a lower leg issue, which was later revealed to be an ankle injury that had to have him carted off at Lambeau Field. According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler on Monday, X-rays returned negative on Cook’s ankle, seemingly avoiding a much more severe injury. During his Monday Zoom press conference with reporters, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid couldn’t confirm Fowler’s report but provided some insight on the situation.

“He’s had work done on that ankle before, and so that’s kind of what they’re going through right now,” said Reid. “Before anything’s put out there, I don’t want to give you anything either way on that because I don’t know. Because of the work that he’s had done on that ankle, so I’m gonna just save that for later until I can give the facts.”

This season, Cook had 35 tackles, one interception, two pass deflections, and two fumble recoveries.
