Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Draws questionable tag vs. Tampa Bay
Rotowire
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.
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.
