Browns WR Amari Cooper had offseason surgery

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper revealed Tuesday he underwent core muscle surgery in February.

Cooper said he is in his eighth week of recovery and on track to be ready for the season.

"I feel good," the four-time Pro Bowl selection told reporters. "I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."

Cooper, 28, said he played through pain at the end of last season, still finishing with his sixth 1,000-yard campaign.

He underwent the procedure with Philadelphia specialist Dr. William Meyers, according to Cleveland.com.

Cooper caught 78 passes for 1,160 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns in 17 starts in his first season with the Browns in 2022.

He has 595 receptions for 8,236 yards and 55 TDs in 125 games (118 starts) with the then-Oakland Raiders (2015-18), Dallas Cowboys (2018-21) and Browns.
