Amari Cooper Out Until Week 1

[eromeopolk]

This is the obvious reported by ESPN.

I did not see them playing him if he was not ready for the 3rd Preseason game dress rehearsal.

 

[Direwolf63]

No surprise. I don't think anybody expected him to play the preseason.

 

[CATCH17]

Probably has more to do with his contract then his foot.

ditto here. I wasn't expecting him to play at all in preseason

-injection treatment, therapy and complete rest to " heel" it all up.

Not at all

 

[CATCH17]

Not at all

Yeah we'll see.

I think a lot of these "injuries" that are being reported around the league are just a way for vets to get out of practice.

 

[Machete]

The way the Cowboys now work...wouldn't be surprised if he is out longer.

 

[JayFord]

Let me guess

Week one we get a sideline report that cooper is day to day

 

[JJHLH1]

Hopefully Cooper is back by week 1. Plantar fasciitis tends to be a lingering injury. Not having Cooper worries me much more than not having Zeke.

 

[Corso]

Yeah we'll see.

Which doesn't necessarily mean "Contract Ploy".

 

[JoeKing]

If Amari isn't ready for week 1, it will be trouble for our Cowboys. We are already not going to have Zeke. There are only so many weapons that can be missing.

 

[CATCH17]

Which doesn't necessarily mean "Contract Ploy".

True but my thought is he is risking a lot by not getting a deal done ASAP.

I almost think Dak and Amari have a better chance of getting a deal done before Zeke because they both could be making significantly more then their current contract and if they don't sign they are risking a lot playing this season.

Zeke still has a great contract for a RB.

Right on. You went with the "Click-Bait" phrasing.
I get it.

Yup! Currently dealing with it for 2nd time in 10 years. Feels like I'm walking on a roofing rack for the last 2 months! Chances are he will be limited throughout the season!

 

[Future]

Yeah we'll see.

I do too. Though who knows if that's the card Amari is playing or not.

 

[Corso]

I actually have plantar fascia.
It mainly sucks in the morning and at the end of the day.
You can stretch it out and deal with it, but I don't know how elite athletes in a "game of inches" deal with it.

This is a 2nd time he has dealt with this injury and it is a issue that may have him out longer. He played through the injury until he got concuss and a high ankle sprain in 2018. But that is not how you want to go into a free agent year. Either he waits, plays later in the season and takes the franchise tag next year, or he will be the next to sign a extension after Jaylon Smith knowing a bird in the hand is better two in the bush.

I agree with this.

Cooper probably won’t miss any games from
The issue. The question is, will it affect his speed and quickness?

I had plantar fasciitis. And it sucked when it got “cold”. After sleeping or sitting for time periods.

But once it was warmed up and stretched out. I felt fine, with maybe only very minor irritation. Didn’t affect my flexibility or movement at all.

Now I wasn’t playing NFL football on it. But I also wasnt receiving nfl quality rehab either.

 

[Asklesko]

Business decision

 

[xwalker]

Yeah we'll see.

I attend training camp in 92, 93 and 95 (and others).

Emmitt didn't practice much.
