Nothing has materialized regarding rumors that Houston Texans receiver Brandin Cooks might be moved at the trade deadline, but his strong showing against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday will serve as his final audition for any potential suitors that might make an offer for him. He was the team’s leading receiver in Week 8 despite only seeing six targets, and head coach Lovie Smith made sure to point out why his role was so limited in the game during his press conference on Sunday night.
Speaking to reporters just after the brutal loss, Smith explained that the pressure faced by quarterback Davis Mills kept Cooks from getting more balls thrown his way.
