How bad was Cooper hurt last week?

How could Cooper go from sitting on the bench last week to totally dominating last night?

I can guarantee you he was still in pain last night.

Anyone here who has ever played football with that injury knows how nagging it can be, especially when your job is to, well, run routes.

Bye week turned out to be a godsend.

Oh it hurt alright last week. Calves and hamstrings and quads all pain in the rears if injured. He won’t be 100% ..but prepare and manage treatment each week right,he can still play. Got a feeling Dak had something to say to people...someone did. Whole team giving full effort...playing with urgency. That’s how I want the team to play...not take it easy after wins,.too easy to lose in this league.

It was reported on Talking Cowboys by Brian Broaddus.

That when the injury occurred near the end of the Packers game.

Cooper was hit on the OUTSIDE of his thigh. Yet the bruise was so deep, that is also showed up on the inside of his thigh.

Basically it bruised all the way through his entire thigh.

So I’m sure it hurt a lot. Cooper is just a beast and went out and balled anyway last night.

A couple of times after plays, the camera would show his face and it looked like he was in pain but trying his best to ignore it

Maybe took a injection last night. I did think it was strange him taking himself out of the game last week. If he takes it for 2 series and runs all out then he scores 2 td and we win. Lol. But if Maher hits that fg we win. Or the BS pick call on the td. Whatever.. Lol.

Toradol shot for sure.

Cooper told Helman last night that he had to take himself out a few plays to manage pain (in other words, scream into a towel). He's a tough kid to do what he did last night from what I hear. Just knocking on wood he doesn't get hurt anymore this season. He has about 2 weeks to heal up....

It was all a contract ploy, see how the offense runs without me, see how the offense runs with me $$$

 

[Cowpolk]

They called the coroner but he refused to get in the box. That is how bad he was hurt last week

Cooper plays hurt all the time and dominates.

if coop says he can’t go, it must mean he cannot move!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Playing the worst secondary in the league helps. But are you asking how he felt better in 7 days?

They thought the Jet game was any easy win. He would have played if it was a bigger game. IMO

He could've kept playing last week, made it worse, then missed a month.

Would you prefer that?

I'm not buying that s*** you're selling! NO WAY was he that hurt that he couldn't have played against the Jets!

Cooper’s injury happened against the Packers

An extra week of rehab makes a difference for a 26 year old athlete with access to the best care that money can buy.

 

[Doomsday101]

This bye week is big for Cooper and some others who played this past game that are dealing with injuries

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Cooper should not play against the midgets either .

He should wait for the vikes game.

I like Cooper but if it was a thigh bruise and not hammy then he should have sucked it up and got out there!
