Cooks (quadriceps) didn't take part in Tuesday's practice.
Cooks' absence was forecast when he didn't take the field for the open portion of the session, per Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com. After fitting in a limited session Monday, Cooks took a step back one day later, but ultimately his listing on Wednesday's injury report will be telling for his Week 1 status against the Chiefs. In the event he's inactive, the Texans will go with Will Fuller, Kenny Stills and Randall Cobb in three-wide sets.
