Draws praise from Hurts Jalen Hurts singled out Cooper on Wednesday as an emerging player at Eagles training camp, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cooper made the team as an undrafted rookie last season and appeared in 13 regular-season contests for the Eagles, catching nine of 11 targets for 92 scoreless yards across 212 offensive snaps. He's competing for a role behind DeVonta Smith (hamstring), Makai Lemon (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks in Philadelphia's reconstructed wide receiver room.

Eagles land WR Dontayvion Wicks from Green Bay for 2 draft picks, AP source says

The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers for two draft picks

APRIL 10 • Associated Press

Nine catches in rookie season Cooper appeared in 13 regular-season games in his rookie season, finishing with nine catches for 92 yards.

Impact All nine of Cooper's catches came in the final seven weeks of the season, with a season-high three coming in Week 18 with the Eagles resting their starters. Credit for Cooper for earning a spot on the active roster from Week 1 as an undrafted free agent and for improving throughout the year, but it will take a shakeup to the Eagles' receiver room this offseason for him to have a shot at a fantasy-relevant role.

Ties season high with two catches Cooper caught both of his targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.

Impact Both of Cooper's receptions came in garbage time with the Eagles leading 31-0 in the fourth quarter. The rookie wideout is now up to five catches on the season, all of which have come in the last four weeks.

DECEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Longest catch of season Monday Cooper recorded a 19-yard reception on his lone target in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Impact Cooper finished fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in snaps, taking the field for 21 of the Eagles' 71 offensive plays (30 percent). He came through with his longest play of the season in the fourth quarter, when he took a pass from Jalen Hurts for a 19-yard catch and run. So long as top wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith stay healthy, the undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State is unlikely to see his role on offense expand.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First receptions of 2025 in loss Cooper caught both of his targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The Tarleton State product played 12 offensive snaps and operated as the Eagles' No. 4 wideout in the Week 12 loss. He finished with the sixth-most receiving yards on the team, ahead of Jahan Dotson (who went without a catch on one target). Cooper has appeared in just seven games this season, contributing on both offense (72 snaps) and special teams (37 snaps). He's expected to play a similar role in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Barely plays in Week 11 Cooper went without a target while playing three of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Tarleton State was active for the third game in a row but is still in search of his first career reception. He finished a distant fourth among Philadelphia wideouts in playing time Week 11, with his four percent snap share trailing DeVonta Smith (97), A.J. Brown (93) and Jahan Dotson (32).

Returns to Monday's game Cooper (shoulder) returned during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Packers, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Cooper briefly left Monday's game after sustaining a shoulder injury in the first quarter, but he was back on the field in the second frame for the Eagles' third offensive possession of the contest. The undrafted free agent has not recorded a catch or target across four-regular season games entering Week 10.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with shoulder issue Cooper (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Packers.

Impact Cooper suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter of the game, placing some doubt on his ability to return to the field during Monday Night Football. In his absence, Xavier Gipson could stand to see some additional snaps with the offensive unit.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

No looks as third wideout Cooper served as the Eagles' third wide receiver for Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants but did not receive a single target.

Impact Cooper's return from a shoulder injury was well-timed, as it gave the Eagles added wideout depth in the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring). While Cooper did see the field for 25 offensive snaps, Jalen Hurts didn't look his way with any of his 20 pass attempts. Even if Brown remains out following the team's Week 9 bye, Cooper's fantasy value will likely remain limited.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially cleared to play Wek 8 Cooper (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Cooper was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and the undrafted rookie has been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury he sustained against the Rams in Week 3. Cooper saw the field on both special teams and in a rotational role on offense prior to his injury, but he could see more snaps at wide receiver in Week 8 due to the absence of A.J. Brown (hamstring).

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated off injured reserve The Eagles activated Cooper (shoulder) off injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Giants.

Impact Cooper hurt his shoulder in Week 3 against the Rams and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a pair of full practices to end the week, though he's still questionable to play Sunday. Prior to getting hurt, Cooper had a minor role on offense, logging 20 offensive snaps over three games without seeing a target. However, if he's able to suit up Sunday, Cooper could be a bit more involved since top wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 8 Cooper (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Cooper was designated for return from injured reserve Thursday, opening his 21-day practice window, but he's yet to be activated after practicing in full Friday. Cooper has yet to see a target on offense through three appearances this season.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Practice window opens The Eagles announced Thursday that Cooper (shoulder) has been designated for return from IR.

Impact Cooper will now begin a 21-day window wherein he can practice without counting against the 53-man roster limit. Philadelphia can activate him to the active roster at any time in that span, making his earliest possible return date Sunday versus the Giants. Once fully healthy, Cooper will resume handling a depth role in the Eagles' wide receiver corps. He suited up for the team's first three regular-season games, during which time he wasn't targeted.
