After the game, it was found that he dislocated his shoulder, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He will undergo an MRI on Monday to gauge the severity of the injury.
Cook was carrying the ball but was tackled in the backfield and fumbled on a hard hit. San Francisco would go on to recover the ball, but Cook stayed on the ground grabbing his left shoulder.
