Jared Cook ruled out vs. 49ers with a concussion

The Saints announced that starting tight end Jared Cook will not return to Sunday’s game against the 49ers after suffering a concussion early in the first quarter Cook was slow to get up after he took a strike to the head on his second touchdown catch in as many possessions, and had to be escorted to the locker room It was looking like a breakout game for the veteran tight end, who has really come along in recent weeks after spending more time with quarterback Drew Brees His loss makes the Saints dangerously thin at tight end; backup Josh Hill is the only other active tight end on the team
