Cooper (thumb) was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper played his typical role in Denver's Week 9 win over the Texans, logging two tackles while playing 40 percent of defensive snaps. It's unclear when the injury occurred, though it doesn't appear to be too serious considering that he was still estimated to be able to practice to begin the week. Cooper's status for Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Raiders should become clearer as the week progresses.

Cooper was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper likely picked up the injury during the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Jets, when he tallied 2.0 sacks. He would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants were he to practice in full over the next two days. The 2021 seventh-rounder is up to 18 tackles (10 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and two pass defenses through the first six games of the regular season.

Cooper recorded two tackles (one solo) including 0.5 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper helped make things very difficult for quarterback Jake Browning in the backup's second start of the season in Week 4, registering in the sack column for the third time in the first four games of the year. He's on pace for a second straight double-digit sack season with a matchup at Philadelphia on tap for Week 5.

Cooper recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-12 win versus the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Denver's defense was able to sack rookie quarterback Cam Ward six times in Week 1, so it's not surprising that Cooper was able to make his mark in that category. The Broncos will play at Indianapolis in Week 2 against a team that should at least try to lean more on the ground game.
