Cooper (ankle) recorded 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sack, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season games in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
The linebacker also recorded eight stops (six solo) in Green Bay's wild-card playoff game against Chicago before leaving with an ankle injury. While the issue will be worth monitoring as the offseason progresses, Cooper firmly established himself as a centerpiece of Green Bay's defense this season, finishing second on the team in tackles. The 2024 second-round pick should play a big role again in the fall.

Cooper is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Bears after suffering an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper hurt his ankle in the second half and was spotted walking back to the locker room. He logged a team-high eight tackles prior to his departure, and Isaiah McDuffie is likely to be asked to take on a bigger role so long as Cooper is sidelined.

Cooper registered 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games with the Packers in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year linebacker posted double-digit tackles in five of 16 games in 2025 and played every single defensive snap in 10 of those contests. He reached the tackling century mark for the first time in his young NFL career, and his 118 combined tackles were second most on the Packers behind Quay Walker (128). Cooper is under contract with Green Bay for at least the next two seasons, with the Packers holding a fifth-year option for 2028.

Cooper (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough due to the shoulder injury he sustained in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens, but the linebacker was able to upgrade to a full participant in Wednesday's session. The 24-year-old should be all set to suit up for Saturday night's wild-card showdown with the Bears as the starting weakside linebacker.

Cooper (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was able to shed an injury designation for Sunday's game after working through a shoulder issue during Week 18 prep. However, with the Packers locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, the second-year pro will get an additional week of rest before the wild-card round. With Quay Walker (coach's decision) also inactive, Ty'Ron Hopper and Jamon Dumas-Johnson are poised to see more snaps at linebacker alongside Isaiah McDuffie during Sunday's regular-season finale. Cooper will end the 2025 regular season with 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 games.

Cooper (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was limited in the first two practices of Week 18 prep due to a shoulder issue, but the second-year pro faded an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale after practicing in full Friday. Given that the Packers are locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, Cooper and the rest of the starters could operate on a snap count as Green Bay prepares itself for the postseason.

Cooper (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper may have picked up the injury during Saturday's loss to Baltimore. The issue doesn't seem severe given his ability to log a limited practice session to begin Week 18 prep, but Green Bay has nothing to play for this weekend and is slated to rest at least some starters, which could play into a decision regarding Cooper suiting up. If Cooper were to sit out against Minnesota, it would be his first missed game this season.

Cooper posted 10 tackles (four solo) during the Packers' 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper logged double-digit tackles for the fifth time this season and finished Saturday's game as the Packers' third-leading tackler behind Xavier McKinney (13) and Quay Walker (12). Through 16 regular-season games, Cooper is up to 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.

Cooper registered three tackles (two solo) during the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper played every single defensive snap during Saturday's loss, but his three tackles were a season low. In spite of the low production, the rookie second-rounder is up to 108 combined tackles through 15 regular-season games and has surpassed his total from his rookie campaign (87 stops through 14 regular-season games). Next up for Cooper and the Packers is a Week 17 home tilt against the Ravens this Saturday.

Cooper logged eight tackles (seven solo), including two tackles for a loss, one pass defense and one fumble recovery during the Packers' 34-26 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper jumped on an RJ Harvey (ribs) fumble caused by Micah Parsons (knee) early in the first quarter, and the Packers' offense capitalized on the turnover by converting it into a 53-yard field goal from Brandon McManus eight plays later. Cooper has tallied at least eight tackles in each of his last three games, and the 2024 second-rounder is up to 105 combined tackles through 14 regular-season games. It's the first time in his young career that he's reached the tackling century mark, and he'll look to add to his total in Saturday's road tilt against the Bears, a game that will carries major playoff implications.
