The good news is that cornerback Trent McDuffie was in and out after a short visit to the medical tent, but now Bryan Cook is the latest to seek attention from trainers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">Cook is now back in the locker room after being in the medical tent and reports had him meeting with a neurologist, which insinuates a head injury. It&#8217;s possible he lands in the team&#8217;s concussion protocol, but that&#8217;s yet to be determined.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">Cook went down in the first quarter on a 3rd-and-2 play for the Texans when C.J. Stroud found wide receiver Nico Collins for a first down on a 14-yard gain. Cook came up injured on the play and immediately was on the sidelines with medical staff around him.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Chiefs Bryan Cook evaluated for concussion <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OgVao0wiSp\">pic.twitter.com\/OgVao0wiSp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FirstSportz NFL (@FirstSportz_NFL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FirstSportz_NFL\/status\/1880739781984022671?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\">A former second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Cook is a full-time starter at safety for the Chiefs and played in all 17 games this season.
