Clear for Week 3
Published: 2023-09-22
Cooper (groin/shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Titans, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cooper aggravated a groin injury ahead of the Browns' Week 2 road matchup with the Steelers, but he ended up playing and logged a 74 percent snap share on his way to seven catches (on 10 targets) for 90 yards. During Week 3 prep, a shoulder issue has been bothering him in addition to the groin concern, which kept him out of Wednesday's practice before capping it with back-to-back limited sessions. Still, Cooper will be able to suit up this weekend and should continue to be quarterback Deshaun Watson's top target in Cleveland's passing game.

Puts in limited practice
Published: 2023-09-21
Cooper (groin/shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cooper carried the groin injury into Monday's game in Pittsburgh but proceeded to suit up and play 74 percent of the snaps in the Browns' 26-22 loss. In addition to the groin issue, Cooper is tending to a shoulder injury, though his ability to upgrade from no activity in Wednesday's practice to limited participation a day later is a positive sign. If Cooper can take another step forward by practicing fully Friday, he should be in good position to enter Sunday's game against the Titans minus an injury designation.
Back on field Thursday
Published: 2023-09-21
Cooper (groin/shoulder) was spotted on the field for the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Cooper took a questionable tag into this past Monday's game against the Steelers due to the groin injury, but he ultimately played 74 percent of the snaps on offense and finished with seven catches for 90 yards on 10 targets in the Browns' 26-22 loss. The wideout sat out the Browns' first Week 3 practice Wednesday with listed groin and shoulder injuries, but his presence on the field Thursday suggests he didn't suffer any major setbacks coming out of Monday's contest. The Browns will release their second Week 3 practice report later Thursday, at which point it'll become known whether Cooper was a limited or full participant in the session.
Absent from practice
Published: 2023-09-20
Cooper (groin/shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Cooper suited up for Monday's 26-22 loss to the Steelers after being listed as questionable and treated as a game-time decision, ultimately running routes on over 80 percent of Deshaun Watson's dropbacks while leading the team in targets (10) and receiving yards (90). An absence from practice Wednesday isn't exactly surprising, nor is the addition of a shoulder injury to his groin issue, but Cooper does have a good track record of suiting up at less than 100 percent. He'll try to do it again this Sunday against the Titans.
Paces pass catchers in loss
Published: 2023-09-18
Cooper secured seven of 10 targets for 90 yards in the Browns' 26-22 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.
After surprisingly suiting up despite reaggravating a groin injury in Saturday's practice, Cooper went out and turned in a trademark performance. The veteran recorded team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals, making several impressive catches along the way. Cooper exponentially improved on his modest Week 1 numbers (3-37), and he could take on an even bigger role if fears Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in Monday night's game are confirmed.
Suits up versus Steelers
Published: 2023-09-18
Cooper (groin) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Steelers.
Reports surfaced Sunday indicating that Cooper, who suffered a groin injury Saturday in practice, was considered unlikely to play Monday, but evidently the wideout's condition improved to the point that he'll give it a go versus Pittsburgh. It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Cooper will be in doing so, but he's in uniform and thus represents a lineup option for those who held out hope that he'd be available in Week 2. During the Browns' 24-3 win over the Bengals on Sept. 10, Cooper logged 46 snaps and caught three of his seven targets for 37 yards.
Still considered a game-time call
Published: 2023-09-18
Cooper (groin), who is listed as questionable, is going to see how he feels pregame, but there's optimism he'll suit up for Monday's game against the Steelers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Cooper was considered unlikely to play, but the extra day off must've been beneficial for the wideout. If he suits up, there's a chance Cooper is limited Monday night, so fantasy managers should still proceed with caution. The veteran caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in the season-opening win over Cleveland before aggravating a groin injury he dealt with during training camp.
Likely to sit out Week 2
Published: 2023-09-17
Cooper (groin), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Steelers, is considered unlikely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
With Schefter's report coming out just over an hour before the early wave of Sunday games kick off, fantasy managers should have plenty of options available to swap in for Cooper, who looks poised to sit out Monday barring dramatic improvement overnight. Cooper took the questionable tag into the contest after he aggravated a groin injury during Saturday's practice. Assuming Cooper is included among the Browns' inactives when the team releases its list 90 minutes prior to Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, Cleveland will get by with wideouts Elijah Moore and Donovan Peoples-Jones and tight end David Njoku as its top pass-catching options.
Aggravates groin injury
Published: 2023-09-16
Cooper is Zac Jackson of The Athletic for Monday's game against the Steelers after aggravating a groin injury, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't give much in the way of information saying, "We will see how it goes over the next 48 hours. It just happened. Don't have enough information to make a determination." Prior to Saturday's practice, Cooper had been a healthy participant in practice all week. The star wideout was one of the featured members of the Browns' passing attack in Week 1 and his absence could be critical in an important divisional matchup come Monday. Expect more information to trickle out in the coming days.
