Cooper (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper followed the exact same practice regimen for a second week in a row -- he was limited on all three reports due to a wrist injury en route to a questionable designation. He subsequently was held out of this past Sunday's win against the Dolphins, so his status truly is up in the air for Week 10 action. With Keon Coleman (wrist) ruled out, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins (shoulder) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) are the healthy wide receivers on the Bills' active roster.

Cooper (wrist) will remain limited at practice Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper, who was inactive in Week 9, was also limited Wednesday and Thursday, which likely has him trending toward being listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. With Keon Coleman (wrist) already ruled out for the contest and Mack Hollins (shoulder) along with Curtis Samuel (pectoral) managing injuries, at this stage Khalil Shakir is the Bills' top healthy wideout.

Cooper (wrist) remained a limited participant at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper, who was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Dolphins, also was limited in Wednesday's walkthrough, so he'll presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach this weekend's game against the Colts without an injury designation. In addition to Cooper, three other Bills receivers -- Keon Coleman (wrist), Mack Hollins (shoulder) and Curtis Samuel (pectoral) -- are nursing injuries as Sunday's game nears.

Cooper (wrist) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice.
EDGE Analysis
Meanwhile, fellow wideout Keon Coleman (wrist) was held out of practice after getting hurt during a 30-27 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. Cooper was inactive for that contest but isn't expected to require a long-term absence, potentially setting him up for a return to the lineup this Sunday at Indianapolis.

Cooper (wrist) is slated to practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Dolphins, but the wideout's looming participation in practice Wednesday is a positive sign regarding his status for this weekend's game against the Colts. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Keon Coleman is also dealing with a wrist injury and could miss some time. He's in line to sit out Wednesday's session.

Cooper (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Cooper took a questionable tag into the weekend after a trio of limited practices due to the left wrist issue, the prevailing expectation was that the wideout would be ready to go by Sunday. Cooper apparently wasn't able to make enough progress with his wrist leading up to kickoff, however, prompting the Bills to make him inactive in what will be his first absence of the season. With Cooper out of the mix, wideouts Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman as well as tight end Dalton Kincaid could see their target shares increase.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Cooper (wrist) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be one of two Bills receivers who will take a designation into Sunday, as Curtis Samuel (pectoral) will join Cooper as questionable after both wideouts were limited participants in practice Wednesday and Thursday. The fact that Cooper was able to practice in some fashion this week seemingly bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday, but official word on his status may not arrive until closer to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Cooper ends up inactive Week 9 or is able to play only limited snaps, more targets could be in the offing for wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid.

Cooper (wrist) remained limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper also was limited Wednesday, with the wideout now having one more chance to practice fully ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Friday's injury report will clarify whether Cooper heads into the weekend with a Week 9 injury designation or fully cleared to face Miami.

WR FA
Cooper (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
According to Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site, head coach Sean McDermott suggested that Cooper would be a non-participant in the team's first Week 9 session, but the wideout ended up getting some work in after all. Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com noted that Cooper participated in the Bills' wideout drills, and then a bit more in the drills that followed during the portion of Wednesday's practice that was open to the media. Cooper now has two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Cooper won't practice Wednesday due to a wrist injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott said the Bills will take it one day at a time with regard to Cooper's recovery from the wrist injury, temporarily clouding the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Bills. If Cooper isn't able to play this weekend, more targets would potentially open up for receivers Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid.
