Nevada football: Wolf Pack receiver Elijah Cooks out for season with foot injury

For the second straight year, Nevada senior receiver Elijah Cooks’ season has been cut way short.

Cooks will miss the remainder of the 2021 season after suffering a foot injury, Wolf Pack head coach Jay Norvell said Monday.

Through Nevada’s first three games, Cooks caught 13 passes for 157 yards and a team-best four touchdowns. He has 115 receptions in his Wolf Pack career, which has spanned all of parts of five seasons.

Cooks was hurt during Nevada’s 38-17 loss at Kansas State on Sept. 18, Norvell said.

“Cookie has been a great player for us; it’s just really tough, tough luck,” Norvell said.
