Cooper underwent core muscle surgery in February, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

The procedure has an estimated recovery period of eight weeks, which should allow Cooper to participate in spring practices. He said he's almost completed his recovery, though he did miss out on private offseason workouts with Deshaun Watson and other receivers. Cooper also mentioned that the core muscle injury bothered him a lot toward the end of last season, even as he played all 17 games and caught 78 passes for 1,160 yards and nine touchdowns.
