Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks sustained a concussion during the team’s Week 8 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Now coming off their bye, the Rams are gong to be without their No. 1 pass-catcher for Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to Omar Ruiz of NFL Media, Cooks is out for Week 10 and will consult with concussions specialists. There doesn’t seem to be a timeline for his return.

This is not only scary news for Cooks, it could loom large for the Rams moving forward. Cooks has 27 receptions for 402 yards this season after putting up four consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns.
At 5-3, Los Angeles is three games behind the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West and has lost in blowout fashion against their division rivals.
Following Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, the Rams take on difficult defenses in the Bears and Ravens.

Rams linebacker Clay Matthews returned to practice Wednesday, though he was limited.
Matthews has not played since Week Five when he fractured his jaw in a loss to the Seahawks. Week 10 was his target return date after having his jaw wired shut.

Running back Malcolm Brown also was limited in his return from an ankle injury. He has not played since Week Six.
“Clay, he’s looking good,” Rams coach Sean McVay said. “He’s got a nice beard right now, too. I was just complimenting him on that. He’s feeling good.
“I think the anticipation for both those guys is if they continue to progress the right way throughout the week, you should expect to see them ready to roll.”
Receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion), linebacker Bryce Hager (shoulder) and defensive tackle Tanzel Smart (illness) did not practice.

Offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth took a veteran rest day, with the Rams listing him as limited.
