Cooper (personal/back) is listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
Cooper missed the Bills' loss to the Patriots in Week 18 due to a personal family matter and is now listed with a back injury, but he's practicing in full ahead of Sunday's home wild-card round matchup against the Broncos. In addition to returning Cooper in his usual starting role, Buffalo's full assortment of skill-position players are practicing in full to kick off the playoffs, aside from return specialist Brandon Codrington (hamstring).

In line to practice
Published: 2025-01-08
Bills head coach Sean McDermott noted that Cooper (personal) will participate in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
Cooper didn't travel with the team ahead of a Week 18 road contest against the Patriots due to a personal family matter. With the wideout slated to practice Wednesday in some capacity, Cooper appears on track to be available for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos. The Bills' upcoming injury report will note Cooper's participation level in Wednesday's walk-through.
Not yet back with team
Published: 2025-01-06
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Cooper (personal), who was excused from Sunday's loss to the Patriots due to a family matter, has not yet returned to team facilities, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
McDermott said he's hopeful to have Cooper available for Sunday's wild-card round playoff game against the Broncos, but he didn't offer a more precise timetable for the veteran's return. If Cooper does return in time to suit up versus Denver, he figures to handle his usual starting role alongside Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman.
Predictably not playing
Published: 2025-01-04
Cooper will not travel with the team Saturday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's contest against the Patriots due to a personal matter.
Unlike a handful of other teams in a similar spot Week 18 with zero playoff implications to play for, the Bills haven't technically ruled out any of their projected starters even though the assumption is the majority will see little playing time in the meaningless precursor to the Wildcard playoff round the following week. Cooper will finish his 2024 regular season accumulating 547 receiving yards, the lowest total of his 10-year career.
Surpasses 10,000 career yards
Published: 2024-12-29
Cooper caught all three of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.
Cooper's first two catches put him over 10,000 career receiving yards, and he celebrated the milestone in style by coming down with a contested catch for a 30-yard touchdown in the third quarter. This was a nice bounce-back performance from Cooper, who had just one catch over the previous two games combined. Cooper may not play against the Patriots in Week 18 since the Bills have secured the No. 2 seed in the AFC and can't move up or down.
Only one catch
Published: 2024-12-22
Cooper recorded one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.
One week after failing to see a target, Cooper's role in the Buffalo offense remained minimal. His only catch of the day came early in the second quarter, and he's now had 15 receiving yards or fewer in three of his last four contests. Though it could change, the Bills passing offense currently appears to run through Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid.
Blanked in Week 15 win
Published: 2024-12-16
Cooper played 32 of the Bills' 70 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions.
Fresh off a big Week 14 performance in the Bills' 44-42 loss to the Rams in which he recorded six catches for 95 yards on a season-high 14 targets, Cooper unexpectedly saw no involvement at all Sunday in another high-scoring affair. Though his snap share (46 percent) was similar to last week's 54 percent rate, Cooper didn't garner any looks on any of the 34 pass attempts from quarterback Josh Allen, who spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers. The Buffalo offense is rolling at the moment and doesn't look on track to slow down with the team facing two relatively unimposing defenses in the Patriots (twice) and Jets (once) over the final three games of the regular season, but Cooper's weekly output looks like it could be highly volatile down the stretch while Allen often leans on an array of playmakers rather than a narrower usage tree.
Finds footing in Buffalo offense
Published: 2024-12-08
Cooper recorded six receptions on 14 targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.
Cooper had been slow to make an impact in the Buffalo offense, as he had failed to top four receptions or 66 yards in four games with the team. That changed against the Rams, as he easily paced the team in targets and had a team-high six receptions. While it wasn't the most efficient showing, Cooper did have long gains of 26, 25 and 18 yards. He should have momentum heading into a Week 15 showdown with the Lions, though the Bills could also be welcoming back Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid.
Three catches in run-heavy win
Published: 2024-12-01
Cooper caught all three of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers.
Cooper's first target didn't come until just over a minute before halftime, as Josh Allen threw the ball only 17 times. The second of Cooper's three catches doesn't stand out in his box score, but it resulted in a highlight play, as he took advantage of a generous lack of a whistle after his forward progress stopped and had time to pitch the ball back to Allen, who proceeded to get into the end zone. Buffalo went run-heavy in cold and snowy conditions, but Cooper won't have to deal with that limitation in sunny Los Angeles and thus projects to be more involved in Week 14 against the Rams.
