Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper is dealing with an Achilles injury and is expected to miss the rest of the season, according to multiple reports. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports say head coach Matt LaFleur indicates Cooper will not be available for remaining games after the injury. CBS Sports similarly reports that LaFleur describes the situation as serious following Cooper’s exit during a win over the Buccaneers.
The outlets differ mainly in how the injury status is framed at different points. Yahoo Sports reports that the Packers rule Cooper out for an upcoming game, citing concerns about whether he can return later in the season. CBS Sports notes that the injury is suspected to be a torn Achilles after Cooper is carted off the field against Tampa Bay, while The Athletic reports the expectation that he will miss the remainder of the year.
