The club's own practice report, day by day
| Day | Practice | Dated by the publisher |

Shape of the week: —. Only rows the publisher dated are here; a row we could not date is excluded until the nightly sweep stamps it. No measured play rate exists for most of these patterns, so the shape is a fact and not a forecast.
P2 is the club's own site quoting head coach Zac Taylor about this exact game, noting Cook '(ankle) went limited' and that Taylor 'isn't ruling them out for Sunday's game ... against the Jaguars,' with a stated plan to 'finesse the two veterans through the week and get them to kickoff' — a coach-level signal toward PLAY, outranking any aggregator. P1, dated inside this practice week (Oct 1) and headlined for this opponent, independently confirms Cook was limited rather than DNP, matching the dossier's steady LTD shape and showing no deterioration. P3 (Sep 28) is only the origin of the ankle injury from last week's Steelers loss and adds no status for Oct 4; nothing in the passages contradicts the PLAY call, though no Friday final designation or inactives list is in evidence. It would need to know: Friday 02 Oct final injury report wording: Cook's game status (Questionable vs Doubtful/Out) for the Oct 4 Jaguars game; Published club practice participation for Cook on Thu 01 Oct and Fri 02 Oct (did LTD hold or drop to DNP); Any Sat 03 Oct or Sun 04 Oct morning ankle setback report, or the Sunday inactives list for CIN vs JAX; Kyle Dugger's (quad) Thu/Fri practice status — if Dugger is out, Cook's snap necessity rises; Zac Taylor's Friday press conference remarks specifically on Cook's ankle workload
