Cooper caught seven of 12 targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns before suffering an undisclosed injury late in Sunday's 21-15 loss to the Giants. Coach Kevin Stefanski didn't have an update on Cooper's status after the game, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper caught a 24-yard touchdown on Cleveland's first play of the game after the Giants fumbled the opening kickoff. He added a six-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter, but the Browns failed to muster any scoring drives outside of those two. Cooper bounced back emphatically after coming in with just five catches for 27 yards on 17 targets, but the veteran wide receiver went down on Cleveland's final drive before walking off under his own power, per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. An update on Cooper's status will surface when the Browns prepare to face the Raiders in Week 4.

Cooper recorded three receptions on eight targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Deshaun Watson has looked Cooper's way consistently in the first two weeks of the season, with Cooper earning a combined 17 targets. However, the duo have yet to get on the same page, and Cooper has amassed only five receptions for 26 total yards as a result. That inefficiency will make him difficult to trust in the immediate future, particularly because Watson has displayed better rapport with Jerry Jeudy.

Cooper recorded two receptions on nine targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Deshaun Watson was unable to distribute the ball successfully down the field, which plagued Cooper and all the Cleveland pass catchers. If there was a positive takeaway, it's that Cooper commanded nine targets to lead the team. Even so, it will be difficult to trust him until Watson shows improved form, though Cleveland should draw a softer defensive matchup in Week 2 against Jacksonville.

Cooper isn't in line to play in Saturday's preseason game at Seattle, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Along with Cooper, QB Deshaun Watson, WR Jerry Jeudy and TE David Njoku (undisclosed) won't be available for the Browns' exhibition finale. Cooper thus will turn his focus to Week 1 and beyond, as he's coming off his first two campaigns with the Browns having averaged 75.3 receiving yards per game and totaled 14 TDs in 32 regular-season contests.

Cooper (undisclosed) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper went through the walkthrough portion of Tuesday's session but didn't participate in practice. After working fully Wednesday, however, the Browns' top wideout is a candidate to see action in the team's preseason finale Saturday against the Seahawks, with coach Kevin Stefanski having said earlier in the week that Cleveland's starters should expect to play in the contest.

Cooper (undisclosed) participated in individual work Wednesday but was held out of team drills, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper remains limited in practice due to a minor issue sustained during 11-on-11 work last week in joint activities with the Vikings. The veteran wideout seems to only be dealing with soreness, and there are no serious concerns about his status, but he only has two more chances to resume handling team reps ahead of Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks.

Cooper (undisclosed) participated in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper, who left this past Thursday's practice early after making a catch during 11-on-11 drills, was reportedly dealing with some soreness afterward, but the wideout has resumed practicing Wednesday. Assuming he suffered no setbacks, Cooper is a candidate to see action in Saturday's preseason finale, with head coach Kevin Stefanski having previously said that Browns starters "should expect to play" in the contest, per Kelsey Russo of the team's official site.

Though Cooper (undisclosed) didn't practice Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic relays that the wideout was present for a mid-session walkthrough.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper left this past Thursday's practice early after making a catch during 11-on-11 drills, and coach Kevin Stefanski subsequently noted that the wideout was "sore." With that in mind, consider Cooper day-to-day as Saturday's preseason finale against the Seahawks approaches

Cooper (undisclosed) is not present at Tuesday's practice despite coach Kevin Stefanski stating that he would be on the field, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stefanski said Tuesday morning that Cooper, who has been sidelined since suffering an undisclosed injury during joint practices with the Vikings last Thursday, was in line to return, but the Browns' No. 1 wideout isn't actually on the field. Saturday's exhibition game against the Seahawks represents Cooper's final chance to log preseason reps prior to Week 1, when the Browns will take on the Cowboys at home, but he'll need to return to practice before that will likely be an option.

Cooper (undisclosed) is expected to return to practice Tuesday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper exited joint practices with the Vikings last Thursday early due to an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he's now healthy. Coach Kevin Stefanski said that Cleveland's starters "should expect to play Saturday" versus the Seahawks, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic, but a decision on Cooper's availability for the Browns' preseason finale won't be made until later in the week.
