Los Angeles Rams: 3 reasons Brandin Cooks should rest for remainder of 2019

The Los Angeles Rams should strongly consider resting Brandin Cooks for the remainder of the 2019 season.

As the Los Angeles Rams continue to prepare for their Week 10 battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers, what the future holds for Brandin Cooks has become a popular topic of discussion.

Back in Week 8 when the Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals in London, Cooks was forced to leave the game due to a concussion, his second one in the month of October after previously leaving the team’s Week 5 contest against the Seattle Seahawks.

During the bye week, Cooks traveled to Pittsburgh to meet with specialists over what happened since this kind of injury, and even though Los Angeles seems to be taking the day-to-day approach, the concerns aren’t going to just disappear overnight for Los Angeles.

No matter what, the Rams are always going to make health the top priority for Cooks, and the last thing they want to do is put the speedster in a difficult situation where he’s at risk to suffer the injury again.

Even though Los Angeles would love nothing more than to see Cooks return, and provide the offense with a major advantage due to his quickness, resting the receiver for the remainder of 2019 may not be a bad idea.

Most Rams fans aren’t going to like the idea of resting Cooks for the rest of the season since the team clearly needs all of the extra help possible to battle for a playoff spot, but here are three reasons why this isn’t the worst idea in the world for Los Angeles to consider.
