Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Feared to have torn Achilles
Cooper is feared to have suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday's 17-14 win over Tampa Bay, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Cooper did not return in Week 4 after sustaining the injury. While nothing has been confirmed, head coach Matt LaFleur "suspects" Cooper is done for the remainder of the 2026 campaign. If that's the case, it would be a tough blow, considering the 24-year-old amassed 21 total tackles (14 solo) and 2.0 sacks heading into Sunday's meeting with the Buccaneers.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Won't return due to Achilles injury
Cooper (Achilles) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Cooper had to be carted off the field after injuring his Achilles, and the Packers should have an update on the third-year pro once he undergoes more tests on the injury. Isaiah McDuffie has replaced Cooper at inside linebacker.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Clears concussion protocol
Cooper (shoulder) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and has been removed from the Packers' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Cooper was initially tagged as questionable, but his full practice Friday was a good indication that he was progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol. The third-year pro has accumulated 21 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, through the first three games of the regular season.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Draws questionable tag vs. Tampa Bay
Cooper (concussion/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
The good news for Cooper is he ended Week 4 prep with a full practice Friday. However, he's still in the league's concussion protocol, and the final step before being cleared to play is for the third-year pro to pass an evaluation administered by an independent neurologist. If Cooper is unable to clear the league's protocol, then Isaiah McDuffie would likely start alongside Zaire Franklin at linebacker.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Remains limited Thursday
Cooper (concussion/shoulder) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Cooper suffered a concussion in last Thursday's game against Atlanta and is also dealing with a shoulder issue. Even if the latter injury is minor, he'll have to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be able to suit up Sunday versus Tampa Bay. If Cooper is unable to play in Week 4, Isaiah McDuffie could be asked to start at linebacker.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Cooper (concussion/shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Cooper sustained a concussion during the Packers' Week 3 loss to the Falcons, and he also appears to have picked up a shoulder injury, too. Even if he practices in full over the coming days, he would need to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist in order to clear the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's road game against the Buccaneers.

The Packers didn't hold an official practice Monday, but the linebacker's limited designation is a positive sign for his chances to play Thursday night versus Atlanta.

Cooper (foot) did not participate in Sunday's practice, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Healthy as training camp continues
Cooper (ankle) participated during the Packers' training camp practice Friday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Cooper had to leave practice earlier in the week, but he appeared to be good to go again Friday. He should play an enormous role at linebacker in 2026 after racking up 118 tackles (63 solo) over 16 regular-season games last year.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Enjoys strong second season
Cooper (ankle) recorded 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sack, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season games in 2025.
The linebacker also recorded eight stops (six solo) in Green Bay's wild-card playoff game against Chicago before leaving with an ankle injury. While the issue will be worth monitoring as the offseason progresses, Cooper firmly established himself as a centerpiece of Green Bay's defense this season, finishing second on the team in tackles. The 2024 second-round pick should play a big role again in the fall.
