Browns WR Amari Cooper 'questionable' for Week 2

The Cleveland Browns may be down a receiver on Monday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

Amari Cooper “aggravated” his groin during Saturday’s practice, according to coach Kevin Stefanski, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The wideout is considered questionable for Cleveland’s Week 2 matchup.

After sitting out practice earlier this week for a maintenance day, the veteran was on the practice field over the past two days. Stefanski said Cooper was injured late during Saturday’s practice before he exited with training staff.

“Aggravated his groin,” Stefanski said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “We brought him inside. We’ll evaluate him over the next 48 hours.”

Despite inconsistent quarterback play, Cooper was productive during his first season in Cleveland. The receiver finished the 2022 campaign with 78 catches for 1,160 yards and nine touchdowns. He played through a hip injury for much of the second half of the season, and he ultimately underwent core muscle surgery this offseason. The veteran had three catches for 37 yards in the season opener.

If Cooper is forced to sit out Monday Night Football, the Browns could turn to veteran Marquise Goodwin or rookie third-round pick Cedric Tillman to soak up some of the snaps next to Donovan Peoples-Jones and Elijah Moore.
