The Facts: Cook was placed on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp after having "preventative" surgery in June on his ailing foot. According to Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Cook is still uncertain when he'll be able to get back to practice with the Packers. However, the surgery was minor and isn't expected to hinder his availability for the start of the season. "No, it wasn't anything serious," Cook said. "It was just, they didn't want it to prolong and something happen later on down the road in season. I'd just rather be safe than sorry."

Diehards Line: Still, as PFT explained, in joining a new teams, Cook will be missing valuable time to build a relationship with quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Cook missed the end of the offseason program due to the surgery and will have fewer days to build chemistry with Rodgers before the start of the regular season. The Packers hope the addition of Cook can add a second option at tight end to pair with Richard Rodgers. The sooner Cook gets on the field, the better the chances of that happening.
