Cook (back) didn't practice Wednesday, Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Cook has held down a modest role in the Rams' passing attack this season, recording at least three catches in seven of 10 games. His usage has been more sparse over the last five tilts, during which he posted 11 receptions (on 19 targets) for 151 yards. As the week of preparation unfolds, expect his status for Sunday's game in San Diego to receive clarification.
