New Orleans Saints receiver Brandin Cooks, who leads all rookies in receptions, was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Tuesday because of a broken thumb.
Cooks’ agent had said after Monday’s surgery that Cooks would be sidelined 4-6 weeks, but apparently the Saints do not plan to use him again this season.

The Saints also placed safety Rafael Bush on injured reserve after he suffered a broken leg in Sunday’s 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
