Cooks (shoulder) will have an MRI on Friday after getting hurt in Thursday's 34-27 preseason win over the Bengals, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Cooks was carted to the locker room after sustaining the shoulder injury Thursday. The results of the MRI will help determine Cooks' return timetable, but even a relatively short absence would decrease Cooks' already slim chances of making the 53-man roster.
