Green Bay Packers tight end Jared Cook suffered a lung contusion in Sunday's win over the Seattle Seahawks, but should be "OK," a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Cook sustained the injury just before the end of the first half and was reportedly held out for the remainder of the game as a precaution.

The veteran tight end looked set to secure a significant role in the Packers' offense after catching six passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 11, but he's caught just five passes since.

Richard Rodgers would likely see an expanded role if Cook is forced to miss time.
