I read somewhere Cooper could miss training camp with his ankle injury? Can anyone confirm that?
Yeah I think you misinterpreted. The only mention of his ankle and training camp was the Cowboys were “hopeful” he’d be 100% ready to go by camp.
The issue isn’t necessarily his ankle not healing by then, but if he would have enough time to get into camp shape before it starts; since he has to wait until his ankle is fully healed to start training again. They wouldn’t want him getting another injury by trying to go full tilt day 1 if he isn’t ready.
There has been no worries about an absence deep into camp or into the regular season.
“This ailment has Cooper sidelined during the club's mandatory minicamp, but Rapoport does characterize this injury as minor and more of an irritation that simply requires rest to fully be healed.
The 26-year-old receiver has not been running over the last few weeks and that will continue as he further rests the ankle. Because of the unlikelihood that Cooper will be able to go through proper conditioning over that stretch, he may not be in the playing shape he's accustomed to at the initial start of camp. Instead of pushing the envelope and getting him onto the field, Dallas could take a cautious approach with Cooper and allow him to get back into shape to avoid reinjuring that ankle.”
