Cook (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cook missed New Orleans' last two contests, but he appears to have managed a full recovery during the team's bye. The veteran tight end stands to retake his starting role versus the Falcons on Sunday. Given that Cook has yet to surpass 50 receiving yards in a game this season and has only scored twice, he won't be easy to trust for fantasy purposes despite a favorable matchup.

Cook (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unable to practice throughout the week, Cook will now miss a second straight game. Josh Hill played 68 percent of snaps on offense in last week's 36-25 win over Chicago, with Dan Arnold chipping in 24 percent and fullback Zach Line (36 percent) handling his largest share of the season.

Cook (ankle) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Cook has yet to practice since putting up a 3-37-1 line on three targets in Jacksonville in Week 6. As a result, he's in danger of missing his second consecutive game Sunday against the Cardinals. Fortunately for the veteran tight end, the Saints' bye week is next up on the schedule.

Cook (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Cook's next appearance at practice will be his first since suiting up Week 6 in Jacksonville. The veteran tight end will have two more opportunities to take the field this week before the Saints tab him with a designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Cook (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Chicago, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cook didn't practice at all this week, leaving Josh Hill as the Saints' top option at tight end, followed by Brian Parker. With Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) also ruled out, Teddy Bridgewater is looking at a serious challenge against a top-notch defense.

Cook (ankle) isn't on the field for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Cook and Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) both absent for a third straight day, the Saints offense may be shorthanded Sunday in Chicago. Josh Hill has been operating as the team's No. 2 tight end in Cook's absence.

Cook (ankle) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cook has been idle for both of the Saints' practices this week after coming out of the Week 6 win over the Jaguars with an ankle injury in tow. The Saints will likely need to see Cook put in at least a limited practice Friday to feel good about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Bears. Josh Hill is the next man up on the depth chart at tight end but doesn't offer as much upside in the passing game as Cook.

Cook (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cook appears to have picked up an ankle injury Week 6 versus the Jaguars. The veteran tight end still has two more days to get onto the practice field in some capacity, though for the time being his chances of suiting up Week 7 are looking murky at best. Alvin Kamara (ankle/knee) and Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) were also unable to practice Wednesday, making it conceivable that Teddy Bridgewater could be forced to operate without a plethora of his top weapons Sunday against the Bears.

Cook secured all three of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 13-6 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cook secured a four-yard touchdown throw from Teddy Bridgewater early in the fourth quarter to snap a 6-6 tie and give the Saints a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The veteran tight end has started to pick up the pace of late after a frustrating first four weeks of the season, finding the end zone in two straight games. The 32-year-old will look to extend his touchdown streak against the Bears in Week 7.

Cook secured four of six targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 31-24 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Cook finally got into the end zone for the first time in a Saints uniform, hauling in a nine-yard scoring throw from Teddy Bridgewater just before halftime to snap a 10-10 tie. The veteran tight end's reception and receiving yardage totals were also season bests, and he's now logged a solid 12 targets from Bridgewater over his last two games. Cook will look to build on the strong showing versus the Jaguars in a Week 6 road tilt.
