Packers' Jared Cook: Diagnosed with high ankle sprain

Cook has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis:

High-ankle sprains often lead to multi-week absences, but it depends on the severity of the particular ailment. Cook is reportedly dealing with quite a bit of swelling, and he left Sunday's game on crutches while wearing a boot. It thus seems he's in serious danger of missing games, though he does have some additional time to recover as the Packers enter a Week 4 bye. Richard Rodgers will take on an expanded role if Cook isn't ready for Week 5 against the Giants.
