Ravens host former Saints first-round WR on free agent visit
Injuries are mounting for the Baltimore Ravens receivers. They tried out a former New Orleans Saints first-round pick before playing his old team.
Brandin Cooks, a former New Orleans Saints first-round pick, is currently in Baltimore for a free agent visit. The highly anticipated visit came after Cooks re-signed with his old team last offseason, expecting to catch many passes from Derek Carr. However, the Saints eventually cut him after failing to find a trade partner. Initially landing with the Buffalo Bills, Cooks still didn't see many targets before seeking a new opportunity almost a year later.
While he hasn't signed with Baltimore yet, KPRC2's Aaron Wilson reported that the Ravens have him on their ready list for emergency situations. The Ravens have already lost rookie draft pick Ja Kobi Lane for a month or more due to injury, and their highly-paid WR1 Zay Flowers has been dealing with a hamstring injury and hasn't practiced this week.
Cooks won't be competing against the team that drafted him this Sunday, but this visit adds another chapter to his long-standing association with the Saints.
