Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke, recently hospitalized with osteoarthritis, will not attend Sunday’s game at RFK Stadium against the San Francisco 49ers. It will be the first home game Cooke has missed since he moved to Washington 18 years ago.

Cooke, 84, became ill as he sat in the owner’s box at RFK Nov. 10 during the Redskins’ overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He spent five days in Georgetown University Medical Center.
