A couple things working in Cooks favor IMO.
First it was non contact-so likely no associated damage-the ligament just snapped no outside force to create more damage to the meniscus or surrounding structures(hopefully based on what we've seen and heard).
As for hi career longevity, if he stays relatively healthy he could have a nice long career because he is a complete and well rounded back. Those are the guys that can overcome some physical decline because they have the savvy and value in all phases of the game that they will be an asset to the offense far longer.
AP's biggest downfall was he got by on his athletic gifts, when they started to slip he had no way to compensate or overcome them and he offers little other value to an offense.
