Cooper re-signed with the Lions on Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper played two games with the Bears last season before getting waived and subsequently claimed by the Lions. All-in-all he suited up for six total games and recorded just one tackle. The 29-year-old journeyman projects as a depth corner If he ultimately earns a spot on Detroit's 53-man roster.

Cooper (back) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper sat out Detriot's loss to the Bills in Week 15, but now appears on track to retake the field. If the veteran is able to suit up against the Vikings on Sunday, he could see rotational snaps in the Lions' secondary.

Cooper (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was forced to exit last week's tilt against the Cardinals prematurely due to a back injury that will also keep him sidelined Sunday. The Lions are otherwise fairly healthy at cornerback, so Cooper's absence shouldn't have too much of an impact.

Cooper left Sunday's game against the Cardinals with a back injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper provides depth for Detroit at cornerback and is third on the depth chart. Nevin Lawson and Teez Tabor will continue to hold down the fort while the 28-year-old is out.

Cooper was claimed off waivers by the Lions on Friday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper recently spent the 2018 season with Chicago and was consequently waived by the team Wednesday. It didn't take long for the 28-year-old cornerback to find a new home, and Cooper will most likely slide in as a depth cornerback for the Lions.

Cooper was released by the Bears on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was cut to make room for quarterback Tyler Bray on the 53-man roster. If the veteran cornerback goes unclaimed on waivers, he'll be free to search for a depth role elsewhere in the league.
