Brandin Cooks Scores First 49ers TD Against Seahawks

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandin Cooks made his first touchdown catch for the team against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5, helping the 49ers take a fourth quarter lead after injuries reduced their available roster options. According to ClutchPoints, the 33-year-old veteran scored on a diving reception from quarterback Brock Purdy after Purdy extended the play and delivered a pass into the end zone. The catch gave San Francisco a 29-26 advantage early in the fourth quarter before the final score moved to 32-29.

The 49ers signed Cooks to their practice squad after the team's 35-13 Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins, according to ClutchPoints. He was promoted to the active roster on October 1 and debuted in the 24-14 Week 4 victory over the Denver Broncos.

Cooks did not record a statistic in his first appearance with San Francisco, but his touchdown against Seattle marked a potential change in his role as the team manages multiple injuries. ClutchPoints reported that his future opportunities with Purdy remain undecided.

Cooks has played for seven organizations during his NFL career, according to ClutchPoints. He appeared in 15 games last season, including 10 with the New Orleans Saints and five with the Buffalo Bills. According to ClutchPoints, Cooks entered the Seahawks game with 175 career NFL appearances, 735 receptions, 9,818 receiving yards, and 61 touchdowns. His latest score added to those career totals.

The 49ers' Week 5 matchup against the Seahawks provided Cooks with his first recorded production after joining San Francisco. The team continues to monitor roster changes as the season progresses.
