According to Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, Cook will be fine. It's not clear what caused the injury or which ankle was injured. He dealt with an ankle problem throughout the 2024-25 season, which led to many issues on the Missouri offense.

Cook was not drafted in the 2025 NFL draft, but was picked up as an undrafted free agent quickly after the draft ended. He's now competing for a roster spot with the Jets.

Justin Fields is expected to be the starter for the Jets this season. An injury to veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor that's expected to keep him out for the remainder of the preseason could give Cook the spotlight he needs to potentially earn a practice squad spot.
