News

  • Undergoes surgery

    Cooper (lower leg) announced via his Instagram account that he underwent surgery Thursday, per Jon Machota of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Cooper missed some time late in training camp with an undisclosed injury, which was revealed to be a hamstring issue during Week 1 prep. Since then, he only appeared on the practice report Week 2 with a foot concern and didn't miss any games all season en route to a career-high 92 catches (on 130 targets) for 1,114 yards and five touchdowns. It's unclear if Cooper's recovery will extend into the offseason program, but even if it does he has plenty of time to get healthy for the 2021 campaign.

  • Held to 41 yards vs. Giants

    Cooper caught six of nine targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Although Cooper tied for the team lead in targets and finished second in receptions, he was mostly held to short gains as he finished averaging just 6.8 yards per catch. So ends another up-and-down season for Cooper, who disappeared in several games but still finished with 1,114 receiving yards, which is the second-best output of his NFL career. He certainly would've produced more efficiently with a healthy Dak Prescott under center despite the multitude of other weapons on the Dallas offense,…read more

  • Bounces back in big way

    Cooper caught four of six targets for 121 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game re-discovered its early season form, and as a result Cooper posted his best yardage total since Week 4 while tying Michael Gallup for the team lead on the afternoon, just one week after he managed a miserable three scrimmage yards against the 49ers. Cooper has now topped 1,000 receiving yards for the third straight season and the fifth time in his career, and he's 117 yards shy of setting a new career high heading into Week 17's clash with the Giants, as both teams…read more

  • Finishes with three scrimmage yards

    Cooper caught two of three targets for 10 yards and carried twice for minus-seven yards during Sunday's 41-33 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Cooper had found the end zone in three straight games but struggled in this one as he faced tight coverage from the respectable San Francisco secondary, which held him to a pair of five-yard receptions. The team tried to get him involved as a rusher, but a four-yard gain followed by an 11-yard loss actually subtracted from his scrimmage yards on the day. While this was a poor performance, it was actually Cooper's second worst of the season after his one-catch effort against the Eagles in Week…read more

  • Scores touchdown in low-volume day

    Cooper recorded four receptions on five targets for 51 yards and one touchdown in Week 14 against Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Cooper saw his fewest targets since Week 8, as he was limited by the Cowboys' ability to build up a 17-0 lead by midway through the second quarter. Even so, Cooper managed to find the end zone in his third consecutive contest, scoring from 11 yards away just prior to halftime. Even with the team's minimal need for explosive offensive plays, he did tack on additional receptions of 20 and 13 yards. Cooper has remained a remarkably consistent producer this season, even with a revolving door of…read more

  • Scores late TD in loss

    Cooper brought in five of nine targets for 43 yards and a touchdown and added a 10-yard rush on one attempt in the Cowboys' 34-17 loss to the Ravens on Tuesday night.

    Analysis: Cooper was on his way to a forgettable fantasy night before making an acrobatic two-yard catch in the back of the end zone on fourth down for Dallas' final score of the night. The sixth-year pro has enjoyed a strong connection with Andy Dalton and had been coming on with a 17-260-1 line over the prior three contests to Tuesday's game. His numbers against Baltimore therefore represented a slight downturn from his per-game averages during that span, but Cooper should once again be the subject of…read more

  • Only bright spot in huge loss

    Cooper caught six of eight targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: He accounted for the Cowboys' only TD of the afternoon, hauling in a strike down the sideline from Andy Dalton early in the second quarter and turning it into a 54-yard score. Dallas was outscored 34-6 after that. Cooper tied Michael Gallup for the team lead in catches and targets but dominated in yardage en route to his third 100-yard performance of the season, but he faces a tough test in Week 13 on the road against the Ravens.

  • Leads team in receiving Sunday

    Cooper caught six of seven targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Andy Dalton did an excellent job spreading the ball around, as nine different Cowboys hauled in at least one catch, but it was Cooper who led the team in receptions, targets and yards. Despite the turmoil in the offense since Dak Prescott (ankle) got hurt, Cooper's still on pace for career highs in catches and targets, as well as the fourth 1,000-yard campaign of his career. He'll look to keep rolling in a Thanksgiving clash with Washington.

  • Solid showing in Sunday's loss

    Cooper caught five of six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers. He also gained eight yards on his lone carry.

    Analysis: After an abysmal performance last week with Ben DiNucci under center, Cooper and the entire Dallas offense showed a little more life in this one with Garrett Gilbert at quarterback, although the end result was still the same. Cooper has recorded at least 75 scrimmage yards in seven of nine games this year, and he should remain one of the top options in the passing game coming out of the team's Week 10 bye, regardless of whether Gilbert or Andy Dalton (concussion) is at the helm.

  • Just one target in SNF loss

    Cooper caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Someone should have told Cooper -- and the Cowboys' coaching staff -- that Halloween was Saturday, because his impersonation of a ghost was more "trick" than "treat" for those counting on the star wideout for significant production. The 26-year-old almost went the entire contest without receiving a target from third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci until he finally caught a pass for five yards in a garbage-time comeback attempt in the fourth quarter. The good news for Cooper's fantasy managers is…read more

  • Stands out in brutal defeat

    Cooper caught all seven of his targets for 80 yards and carried once for an additional five yards during Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Cooper was a rare bright spot on the day as his team managed to generate just 114 passing yards. He made a few short catches while Andy Dalton (head) was under center and somewhat surprisingly managed a 32-yard connection with rookie Ben DiNucci, who entered the game as an injury replacement. Cooper has caught 14 of 17 targets for 159 yards over the last two games since Dak Prescott (ankle) went down, but his production seems unlikely to continue next Sunday night against the Eagles if Dalton…read more

  • Gets into end zone late

    Cooper secured seven of 10 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 38-10 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

    Analysis: Cooper was busy early and late, leading to a team-leading yardage total and the only touchdown of the night for the Cowboys with 2:48 remaining. The 26-year-old was at least able to bounce back from a season-worst 2-23 line in Week 5 against the Giants, and Cooper has now found the end zone twice in the last three games after being blanked in the touchdown column during the first three contests of the campaign. He'll look to carry over the momentum into a Week 7 divisional road matchup against…read more

  • Takes back seat Sunday

    Cooper caught only two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 37-34 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: For the first time this season, Cooper failed to see at least nine targets or haul in at least 81 yards, as CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup were both more involved in the Dallas passing game. Cooper was bound to cede opportunities to his talented teammates sooner or later, but the whole offense carries a little more uncertainty now that Andy Dalton is forced to take over from Dak Prescott (ankle), likely for the rest of the year. How much of a connection Dalton and Cooper can establish will…read more

  • Explodes for 134 yards

    Cooper caught 12 of 16 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 49-38 loss to the Browns. He also caught a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: Cooper was thrown to early and often as his team tried to dig itself out of a hole yet again, managing his highest yardage total since Week 10 of last season. He made a beautiful 20-yard touchdown grab on fourth down in the second quarter for his first score of the season, with the sparse touchdown tally about the only complaint his fantasy managers could really have at this point. Cooper is on pace for over 1,600 yards on the season and could thrive again in next Sunday's favorable matchup…read more

  • Feeling healthy

    Cooper was banged up earlier this season but says he now feels 100 percent healthy, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: It almost goes without saying given that he's averaging 89 yards per game. Cooper still hasn't found the end zone, but the touchdowns should eventually start flowing, as he's far and away the target leader (35) in an offense that leads the league in yardage and ranks eighth in points scored. Cooper's Week 4 matchup appears favorable, with Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (groin) listed as questionable after unsuccessfully attempting to play through the same injury last week. The other starting…read more

  • Productive again in loss

    Cooper caught nine of 12 targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The receiver led the Cowboys in catches, but he remarkably came in only third on the team in receiving yards, as Dak Prescott threw for 450-plus yards for the second straight game. Cooper is still looking for his first TD of the year, but given how explosive the Dallas passing game has been it should only be a matter of time, and his 25 catches for 267 yards through three games is a nice consolation prize. Cooper could be primed to hit pay dirt in Week 4 against a Browns defense that's already…read more

  • Hits century mark in Week 2 win

    Cooper snagged six of nine targets for 100 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The four-time Pro Bowler was held to limited practice participation Thursday while nursing a bruised foot, but that certainly wasn't evident on the field Sunday as Cooper carved up the Falcons' porous secondary. Atlanta's defense was left depleted without cornerback Kendall Sheffield (foot) in the lineup, and Cooper was able to capitalize with his first 100-yard showing since Week 10 of last season. The 2015 No. 4 overall draft choice was shaky during the fantasy playoffs last December in…read more

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Cooper (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: A bruised foot caused Cooper to be a limited practice participant Thursday, but he never appeared in serious danger of missing the Cowboys' Week 2 contest. He was on the injury report last week with a hamstring injury and ended up catching 10 of 14 targets for 81 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Rams. Cooper's next opponent, Atlanta, allowed Russell Wilson to throw for 322 yards and four TDs in a 38-25 loss last week.

  • On track for Sunday

    Cooper (foot) went through Friday's walkthrough and coach Mike McCarthy doesn't anticipate any setbacks heading into Sunday's game versus Atlanta, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cooper was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant due to the foot issue, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. The 26-year-old could still carry an injury designation into the weekend, but barring a setback he should be able to play Week 2.

    Cooper was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a foot injury, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Considering the Cowboys didn't list Cooper on their initial Week 2 injury report that was released Wednesday, his foot issue may have cropped up during Thursday's session. Whatever the case, Cooper's health suddenly bears close attention heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons. The Cowboys will determine whether Cooper will carry a designation into the weekend based on what he's able to do at Friday's practice.

  • Remains top dog in Dallas

    Cooper caught 10 passes (14 targets) for 81 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Cooper led all Cowboys in receptions, targets and yards, which is relieving news for fantasy owners following the acquisition of top receiving prospect CeeDee Lamb in the 2020 NFL Draft. Perhaps having a legitimate threat opposite the veteran will lead to gaudier numbers as opposed to eating into his production. The move to Dallas in 2018 restored Cooper's status as a star wideout, and Sunday's performance proves that he is still Dak Prescott's favorite target. The 26-year-old will look to…read more

    Cooper (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Rams in L.A., Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys held Cooper out of practice to kick off September, but when Week 1 rolled around he was able to handle every rep at all three sessions. He's thus poised to act as the team's No. 1 wide receiver Sunday night and play at "full capacity," as Mike McCarthy told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News on Thursday. Cooper could have a tough go of it, though, as the Rams boast a top cover corner in Jalen Ramsey.

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday that he expects Cooper (hamstring) to play at "full capacity" in the team's Week 1 matchup with the Rams, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Cooper already cleared up any concerns about his availability for the season opener by practicing fully Wednesday, but McCarthy's comments at least provide some reassurance that the wideout's workload likely won't be limited Sunday. After playing north of 85 percent of Dallas' offensive snaps in six of the team's first 10 games of 2019, Cooper failed to clear that benchmark in any of the Cowboys' final seven contests while he battled lower-body injuries.

    Analysis: Cooper has spent the last few weeks dealing with a hamstring injury, but he's now managed to resume handling unrestricted reps. Barring any setbacks, Cooper is fully on track to suit up against the Rams on Sunday Night Football. He'll lead a dangerous Dallas receiving group also consisting of Michael Gallup, CeeDee Lamb and tight end Blake Jarwin against Los Angeles' formidable secondary.

Gehlken expects the wide receiver to gradually increase his practice participation throughout the week and ultimately suit up Sunday night in Los Angeles. Despite his frequent appearances on injury reports, Cooper has missed only three games through five pro seasons, and he's averaged 5.3 catches for 76.6 yards and 0.56 TDs…read more

  • Misses fourth straight practice

    Cooper has missed four consecutive practices, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: No specific injury has been reported, and the Cowboys have downplayed the situation. Still, it's something to keep an eye on ahead of a Sunday night opener (Sept. 13) against the Rams, especially given Cooper's history of playing through lower-body injuries. For what it's worth, Todd Archer of ESPN.com thought Cooper spent a lot of time stretching his quadriceps before he did some resistance-cord workouts with a trainer Thursday morning.

  • Gets breather Friday

    Cooper took part in individual drills Friday but had his workload in team drills managed, David Helman & Rob Phillips of DallasCowboys.com report.

    Analysis: With a five-year, $100 million contract extension in his pocket, Cooper's spot as the Cowboys' No. 1 receiver is extremely secure, and the team isn't going to wear him out in camp. Look for him to get a fairly heavy snap count in Sunday's intrasquad scrimmage, one of the few game-like situations the team will be involved in before Week 1.

  • Set for more slot routes

    Cooper is likely to line up in the slot more frequently after the Cowboys selected CeeDee Lamb with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft, NFL analyst Andy Benoit suggests.

    Analysis: The addition of Lamb to a receiving corps that already featured standout talents in Cooper and Michael Gallup gives offensive coordinator Kellen Moore a lot of formation flexibility, as both Cooper and Lamb have experience working inside and outside. With Dallas having lost slot receiver Randall Cobb and tight end Jason Witten (166 combined targets) in the offseason, there should be plenty of looks available for everyone, but even if Cooper's target volume somehow decreases as part of a deeper…read more

  • Nearing huge deal with Dallas

    Cooper is nearing agreement on a five-year, $100 million contract with the Cowboys on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old seemed poised to officially test the open market, but it appears Dallas was able to secure its top wide receiver after the tampering window opened Monday afternoon. Cooper set career highs in yardage (1,189), touchdowns (eight) and YPC (15.1) during 2019 while catching 79 of 119 targets. Quarterback Dak Prescott received the franchise tag earlier in the day, so the Cowboys are set to enter the 2020 season having secured their top two impending free agents.

  • Preparing for free agency

    With Dak Prescott receiving the Cowboys' franchise tag, Cooper will be able to test the free-agent market, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys will make an honest effort to re-sign their star wide receiver, but there's no question other teams will be interested. Cooper arguably profiles as the top prize on the market, at least in the non-quarterback category. The Cowboys had been hoping for the option to use both a franchise tag and a transition tag this offseason, but the recent completion of a new CBA eliminates that possibility.

He also mentioned that he's back to full health, after dealing with foot, knee, ankle and thigh injuries at various points throughout 2019.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old wideout may prefer to re-sign with the Cowboys, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll accept a hometown discount. And while the franchise tag would normally give the team a backup plan for retaining a player of Cooper's caliber, the Cowboys will need to use the tag on Dak Prescott if they can't sign the quarterback to a long-term deal before the start of free agency. As such, there's still some chance Cooper ends up with a new team in 2020, though it isn't the most likely…read more

Cooper battled nagging injuries for most of the season despite playing in all 16 games, leaving the impression that he's capable of even more production than he showed in his first full campaign with the Cowboys.

    Cooper caught four of 12 targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott had little success trying to stretch the field, and as a result Cooper came away with his second straight poor performance. It's the first time this season he's failed to turn double-digit targets into at least eight catches or 85 yards, but the volume does offer hope for a rebound in Week 17's must-win game against Washington.

  • Quiet in big win over Rams

    Cooper caught one of two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: His day mirrored that of the Cowboys' entire wide-receiver group, as the team leaned heavily on a dominant running game to generate offense. Cooper, Michael Gallup and Randall Cobb combined to produce three catches for only 22 yards, and Tavon Austin surprisingly led the team's WRs thanks to one 59-yard TD catch. Cooper will look to rebound next Sunday with the NFC East title on the line in Philadelphia, facing an Eagles defense he posted a 5-106-0 line against in Week 7.

  • Receiving score in Week 14 loss

    Cooper secured six of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' 31-24 loss to the Bears on Thursday.

    Analysis: Cooper co-led the Cowboys in receptions while checking in second to Michael Gallup in receiving yardage and targets. The 25-year-old was on the receiving end of Dak Prescott's only passing touchdown of the night as well, securing a 19-yard scoring toss with 4:29 remaining that brought Dallas to within 31-21. The trip to the end zone snapped a three-game touchdown-less streak for Cooper, his longest such stretch of the campaign. He'll look to get back over the 100-yard mark for the first time…read more

  • Full practice participant

    Cooper (knee) practiced without limitations Monday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Jason Garrett expressed optimism that Cooper would be ready for Thursday's matchup against the Bears, and Monday's practice report confirms that notion. Cooper appeared back to normal in the Thanksgiving Day game against the Bills before injuring his knee in the fourth quarter, but additional tests found no structural damage. The fifth-year wide receiver will look to continue his trajectory after an eight-catch, 85-yard Week 13 performance in Thursday's tilt versus the Bears' ninth-ranked…read more

  • On track to play Week 14

    Coach Jason Garrett said Friday that he's confident Cooper (knee) will be ready to play in the Cowboys' next game Dec. 5 versus the Bears, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Though the Bears and Cowboys both played on Thanksgiving Day, the two teams will have a normal turnaround between games as they face one another on Thursday Night Football in Week 14. After being held without a catch in Week 12 in New England, Cooper bounced back nicely in a tough matchup versus the Bills on Thursday, hauling in eight of 11 targets for 85 yards in the 26-15 loss. Unfortunately, the oft-banged-up receiver came out of the contest with a left knee injury in tow. Though an MRI and…read more

  • Avoids structural damage

    Cooper didn't suffer any structural damage to his left knee in Thursday's 26-15 loss to the Bills, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cooper injured his knee during the fourth quarter of the Thanksgiving Day game but was able to return to the contest. An MRI and an X-ray conducted afterwards didn't reveal any structural damage, so he should have good odds to play Week 14 in Chicago, though another Thursday game (Dec. 5) means he won't have any extra time to rest. The Cowboys will release their initial Week 14 practice report Monday.

  • Leads Dallas in receiving

    Cooper caught eight of 11 targets for 85 yards in Thursday's 26-15 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: One game after being held catchless for the first time as a Cowboy, Cooper was targeted early and often by Dak Prescott and wound up leading the team in catches, targets and yards. He also seemed to avoid an injury scare in the fourth quarter after taking a big hit to his left knee, and while Cooper was forced to miss a couple plays he was able to rejoin the offense as it tried to mount a late comeback. Cooper will go for an X-ray on the knee Friday, per Jane Slater of NFL Network, to confirm…read more

  • Held catchless by Pats

    Cooper failed to catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Between a constant rainfall and tight coverage by Stephon Gilmore, Cooper wasn't able to make any kind of impact and ended up with zero catches for the first time in 22 games as a Cowboy, including the postseason. Assuming his poor performance wasn't also partially the result of the lingering knee injury he's been dealing with, Cooper should be able to rebound at least somewhat in a Thanksgiving home tilt against the Bills.

  • Says he's over knee issue

    Cooper relayed after Thursday's practice that he's moved past the knee injury that limited him during the Cowboys' Week 11 win over the Lions, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports. "I'm good. Everything is good. I'm a lot better," Cooper said.

    Analysis: Cooper's positive outlook regarding his health was seemingly supported by his full participation in both of the Cowboys' first two practices of Week 12. After handling his second-lowest snap share (55 percent) of the season last week, expect Cooper to be back over the 85 percent mark during Sunday's game versus New England.

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Cooper (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Cooper battled through the knee injury in the Week 11 win over the Lions, playing only 55 percent of the offensive snaps and finishing with just three catches for 38 yards on eight targets. While Cooper probably isn't 100 percent healthy, his ability to practice fully in the Cowboys' first session of the week suggests he's at little risk of missing Sunday's tough matchup with New England. Unless Cooper suffers an in-game setback with the knee, expect him to play at least 80 percent of the…read more

  • Continues battling knee injury

    Cooper is "still fighting through" his knee injury and played only 55 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Lions, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Besides the Week 6 game against the Jets in which he played only three snaps, Sunday's snap percentage was Cooper's lowest of the season. The 25-year-old didn't have an injury designation for the game but was clearly impacted by it early in the contest, leading to the rotational workload. Cooper's status should receive additional updates once the Cowboys return to practice Wednesday, but Sunday's game against the Patriots would be a tough matchup even if fully healthy.

  • Fights through injuries vs. Lions

    Cooper (knee/ankle) caught three of eight targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Although Cooper entered the game without an injury designation, he came up grimacing after an early reception and appeared to be limited throughout the rest of the game. He still made some nice plays across from star cornerback Darius Slay, but he mainly served as a decoy while Randall Cobb and Michael Gallup combined for 263 receiving yards. Cooper has managed to fight tough various injuries all season, and although he continues to find his way into the lineup, his production stands to suffer…read more

  • Cleared for Sunday

    Cooper (knee/ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Detroit, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: A thigh bruise in Week 6 forced Cooper out of a loss to the Jets after just three snaps, but he's otherwise been able to play at a high level while battling a variety of physical issues. His presence at practice Thursday and Friday suggests he'll be fine to handle his usual workload come Sunday, potentially drawing a shadow matchup with Lions cornerback Darius Slay.

    Cooper (knee/ankle) said he will play in Sunday's game at Detroit, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

  • Practices in limited fashion

    Cooper (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Cooper was seen working out on the side at the beginning of Thursday's session, but the receiver apparently fit in enough work behind the scenes to get an upgrade on the practice report after he was listed as a non-participant Wednesday. Gehlken posits that Cooper may be limited again Friday while managing the pair of injuries, but neither issue is expected to prevent him from playing Sunday versus the Lions.

  • Officially sits out practice

    Cooper (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cooper handled his usual workload during Sunday's loss to the Vikings despite a lingering knee injury, so it's not much of a surprise that the Cowboys are opting to manage his practice reps to begin the week. The extent of Cooper's participation in practice will be worth monitoring as the week continues. Even a limited session would set him on the right track to suit up Week 11 versus Detroit.

  • Still bothered by knee

    Cooper (knee) isn't expected to get much work, if any, at Wednesday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Starting with a heel injury this summer, Cooper has been nicked up throughout much of the season, but that hasn't stopped him from handling a full workload in eight of nine games, with at least four catches and a 76 percent snap share in each of those appearances. The wide receiver should be available for a Week 11 contest in Detroit, after catching 11 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota. Any form of practice participation this week would put Cooper on track…read more

  • Showcases elite playmaking ability

    Cooper (knee) reeled in 11 of 14 targets for 147 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Ezekiel Elliott struggled finding room to operate against the Vikings' stout front seven, so Cooper teamed up with Dak Prescott for another aerial clinic on national television. The 25-year-old was not hampered by a balky knee that caused him to carry a questionable tag all week, as he was able to play the entirety of the contest while comfortably leading all players from both sides in catches, receiving yards and targets. Cooper was especially sharp on a pair of clutch, toe-drag receptions --…read more

  • Available Week 10

    Cooper (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Vikings, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite logging an LP/DNP/LP practice regimen this week, Cooper will withstand his bruised left knee and slot into his usual spot in the starting lineup. He has a somewhat favorable matchup on tap versus a Minnesota defense that has given up 158.2 receiving yards per game and 12 touchdowns to wideouts in nine contests this season.

  • Expected to play Sunday

    Both Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Adam Schefter of ESPN report that Cooper (knee, ankle) is expected to play Sunday night against the Vikings.

    Analysis: That supports a previous report by Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News that the "expectation remains that (Cooper will) start" Sunday's contest. Ideally, those who roster Cooper -- who is dealing with a bruised knee -- would have a contingency plan in place in case the unexpected occurs, but the signs point to him being a go for his team's 8:20 ET kickoff Sunday night.

  • Questionable, but should play

    Cooper (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, with the expectation that he will play, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Cooper and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones both were optimistic when discussing the situation, and Cooper managed a pair of limited practices Wednesday and Friday. The wide receiver played at a high level after he suffered the knee injury in Monday's win over the Giants, so he should be in line for his usual role Sunday against Minnesota. Still, fantasy managers may want to have a replacement ready in case Cooper unexpectedly ends up on the inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20…read more

    Cooper (knee) is expected to play in Sunday night's game against the Vikings, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Cooper is hoping to return to practice Friday, and while he'll likely have a designation on the final injury report, the Cowboys expect their top wide receiver to suit up. Team owner Jerry Jones said an MRI earlier this week brought favorable news, with results that would be good enough to pass a physical if he was going through the process of signing or being drafted. Cooper also sounded optimistic, referring to the injury as "workable".

  • On pace to play Sunday

    Although Cooper (knee) didn't practice Thursday, he's expected to return to the field Friday and suit up Sunday against the Vikings, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cooper injured his left knee Monday against the Giants but played through the issue, racking up four catches (on seven targets) for 80 yards and a touchdown in the process. He proceeded to be limited at Wednesday's jog-through, and after an MRI and subsequent examination by the Cowboys' medical staff, he's been diagnosed with a bruised knee. Despite the optimism implicit in Archer's report, Cooper's status still should be monitored in advance of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

That said, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site indicates that the Cowboys are optimistic that Cooper can practice Friday and play Sunday night against the Vikings.

    Cooper (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, Cooper jammed his knee during Monday's win over the Giants, but he stayed in the game and finished the night with four catches for a team-high 80 yards and one touchdown. It's encouraging that the No. 1 receiver wasn't held out of Wednesday's jog-through practice entirely, and there's not yet any reason to suspect that Cooper is in danger of missing time. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to a full participant ahead of Sunday's tilt with the Vikings.

    Analysis: During Monday's victory over the Giants, Cooper left the contest for a spell to have his left knee examined, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. After he loosened the knee up and returned to action, Cooper finished with four catches (on seven targets) for a team-high 80 yards and one touchdown. Per Hill, the Cowboys held a jog-through Wednesday, so Cooper will have two additional opportunities to take part in a true practice by week's end.

    Cooper caught four of seven targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 37-18 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Cooper's performance was highlighted by a 45-yard touchdown at a critical moment during the fourth quarter. That score deflated New York's comeback hopes while giving Cooper his sixth end-zone trip of the season. As usual, Cooper also led Dallas in receiving yards, putting together another well-rounded outing as the team's top wideout. In Week 10, he's slated to face a Vikings defense that struggled to contain Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill this past weekend, but still ranks 10th in passing yards…read more
