Cooper logged seven tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during the Packers' 40-40 tie to the Cowboys on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper has logged at least seven tackles in three of the first four games of the regular season, and he finished Sunday's game tied with Nate Hobbs (head) and Xavier McKinney for third most tackles on the Packers behind Quay Walker (11) and Evan Williams (nine). Cooper is up to 33 total tackles through four games and is on pace to surpass his total from the 2024 regular season (87 across 14 games).

Cooper tallied four total tackles (two solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's 13-10 loss to the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year pro from Texas A&M had an underwhelming Week 3 performance after posting 22 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, through the Packers' first two games this season. Nonetheless, Cooper still ranks first on Green Bay's defense in solo tackles (17) and second in total tackles (26) through three weeks. He'll look to return to his usual form as one of the NFL's premier inside linebackers in Week 4, when the Packers face the Cowboys.

Cooper finished Thursday's 27-18 win over the Commanders with 10 tackles (seven solo), including 0.5 sacks.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper got his first quarterback takedown of the season in the third quarter of Thursday's game, when he and Micah Parsons combined on a 10-yard sack of Jayden Daniels on third down, which led to a 52-yard field-goal attempt by Matt Gay on the next play that sailed right. Cooper has registered at least 10 total tackles in four of his last five regular-season games, dating back to Week 16 of the 2024 season against the Saints.

Cooper registered a career-high 12 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper started Sunday's contest and finished it with more tackles than he registered in any of the 14 games he appeared in during his 2024 rookie season -- one in which he was twice named NFC Defensive Player of the Week. Cooper was a trendy breakout candidate coming into the current campaign, and after one contest there is little reason to think differently, as only three players have registered more tackles with one game to go in Week 1.

Cooper started at linebacker in Saturday's 20-7 preseason victory over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper started just four games during his 2024 rookie season, but the second-round pick was twice named NFC Defensive Player of the Week, and he is primed to play a key role from the jump in his sophomore campaign. Cooper racked up 87 tackles (57 solo) in 2024 despite seeing limited snaps early and sitting out three games altogether, so it's easy to envision him surpassing the 100-tackle mark in his second go-around.

Cooper played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 87 tackles (57 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
EDGE Analysis
The second-round rookie out of Texas A&M saw limited playing time on defense early in the regular season, but he slowly saw his snap count increase as the year progressed and ended up starting in the Packers' final four games of 2024 (including the NFC wild-card game against the Eagles). Cooper missed three games due to a hamstring injury, but he returned in Week 15 against the Seahawks and accumulated 42 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) in the following five games (including playoffs). Cooper won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month award for December/January and figures to be a staple of the Packers' defense for the 2025 campaign.

Cooper (illness/knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper, a 2024 second-round pick from Texas A&M, was limited throughout the Packers' week of practice due to a knee injury and an illness. However, it now appears he's healthy enough to play in Sunday's wild-card contest. Cooper has really rounded into form down the stretch for Green Bay, recording 35 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional seven tackles for loss, and two passes defended, with one interception, since returning from injury in Week 15. Expect the reigning NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month to cause problems for the Eagles' offense Sunday.

Cooper (illness/knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper is working through an illness and a knee injury, the latter of which he may have picked up during the Packers' Week 18 loss to the Bears. The rookie second-round pick will likely be able to play against the Eagles in Sunday's NFC wild-card game, though his practice participation over the next two days will be worth monitoring in case he suffers a setback. Cooper emerged as the key figure in the Packers' linebacker corps as the year went on, and he finished his first NFL regular season with 87 tackles (57 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 games.

Cooper recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo), including four tackles for loss, in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper was flying around the field in Week 17, making four tackles for loss and tying Javon Bullard as the Packers' leading tackler. The rookie linebacker from Texas A&M has really come on since returning from injury in the Week 15 win over the Seahawks, having now recorded 28 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks and an additional six tackles for loss, and one interception over Green Bay's last three contests. He's expected to remain one of the Packers' top tacklers and defensive playmakers when the Bears travel to Green Bay in Week 18.

Cooper racked up seven tackles (six solo) a sack, an interception and two pass deflections in Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper returned from a three-game absence in style, leading his team in tackles while picking up both the third full sack and first interception of his professional career. Cooper was on the field for only 34 of the 59 plays that Green Bay's defense recorded, but don't be surprised to see him more involved moving forward -- particularly if fellow linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) is forced to miss time.
