Players typically miss a week (or two) after suffering concussions, though Saints WR Chris Olave just recently managed to avoid that fate, as have a few other players this season. Cooper left Sunday's loss to the Rams in the second quarter and now is in danger of missing a Week 14 matchup with Jacksonville.

Players typically miss a week (or two) after suffering concussions, though Saints WR Chris Olave just recently managed to avoid that fate, as have a few other players this season. Cooper left Sunday's loss to the Rams in the second quarter and now is in danger of missing a Week 14 matchup with Jacksonville.
Cooper was evaluated for a concussion after exiting with a head injury in the second quarter, and Stefanski revealed that those tests confirmed a concussion for the wide receiver. Prior to exiting, Cooper caught three of five targets for 34 yards. He'll have to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 14 against the Jaguars.
Cooper had a concussion check in the second quarter, and he seemingly was diagnosed with one and will be unavailable to the Browns offense after halftime. He'll thus end Week 13 with three catches (on five targets) for 34 yards. With Marquise Goodwin (concussion) inactive, the Browns' available wide receivers now are Elijah Moore, Cedric Tillman, David Bell and James Proche.
Before departing the contest, Cooper had caught three of his five targets for 34 yards. In his absence, Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman are in line to pace the Browns' WR corps versus Los Angeles.
Cooper took a hit to his midsection in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Denver, and a return was ruled out for him not long after due to a rib injury. On Monday, X-rays came back negative on his ribs, and he proceeded to sit out Wednesday before managing back-to-back limited sessions to end Week 13 prep. According to Petrak, Cooper was seen donning some padding on his right ribs Thursday, so he appears as if he'll have some protection on the affected region when he takes the field Sunday.
Cooper didn't practice Wednesday due to a listed combination of rest and the rib injury, but his return to a limited session Thursday has him trending in a positive direction as Sunday's game against the Rams approaches. Per Cabot, Cooper plans to play this weekend, though unless the wideout is deemed a full practice participant Friday, he could carry an injury designation into the game.
Cooper was on the receiving end of a big hit during the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss at Denver, and a rib injury eventually kept him sidelined until the end of the contest. Afterward, coach Kevin Stefanski told Petrak that X-rays were returned negative on Cooper's ribs. The Browns' first Week 13 practice report is attributing Cooper's absence due to "not injury related - rest, ribs," so the wide receiver may be sitting out as a precautionary measure. Any activity he can log Thursday and/or Friday would lay the groundwork for him to miss no game action as a result of the injury, but for the time being his status will be monitored as the week continues to get a sense of his chances to play Sunday at the Rams.
Cooper exited due to a rib injury in the second half after catching two of six targets for 16 yards, but he avoided any broken ribs. These X-ray results suggest Cooper could have a chance to play in Week 13 against the Rams. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) also left the loss to Denver in the second half, so if Cooper is able to return next week he could be catching passes from PJ Walker.
Cooper exited in the second half after taking a hit to the ribs from Broncos safety P.J. Locke. The veteran wide receiver caught just two of six targets for 16 yards prior to the injury. Cleveland lost both Cooper and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) in Sunday's game, and it remains to be seen if either will be available in Week 13 against the Rams.
