FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys will be without wide receiver Brandin Cooks for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers — and potentially longer — after an infection developed in his right knee following a procedure last week, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Cooks had a procedure in New York following last week's win against the Giants, sources said. After he developed symptoms upon his return to Dallas, Cooks had surgery to clean out the infection in his knee.

That was performed by team doctors over the weekend. Coach Mike McCarthy confirmed Cooks wouldn't play against the Steelers on Sunday.

Cooks, 31, had been dealing with a knee issue since training camp, but it did not keep him from practicing or playing. He had a similar procedure done over the summer during training camp without any issues.
