MINNEAPOLIS -- New England Patriots and former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks will miss the second half of Super Bowl 52.
Cooks, who is in his first year with the Patriots, suffered what was announced as a head injury in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
On the play, Cooks got wide open for a 23-yard gain, but as he looked to gain more yardage, Eagles and former Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins tackled him with a vicious hit.
Cooks was motionless on the field briefly after the hit, but after trainers tend to him, he sat up and was able to walk to the locker room.
