Enjoys strong second season Cooper (ankle) recorded 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact 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 injury will be worth monitoring as the offseason progresses, Cooper firmly established himself as a centerpiece of Green Bay's defense in 2025, finishing second on the team in tackles. The 2024 second-round pick should play a big role again in the fall.

Hurts ankle in wild-card game Cooper is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Bears after suffering an ankle injury.

Impact Cooper hurt his ankle in the second half and was spotted walking back to the locker room. He logged a team-high eight tackles prior to his departure, and Isaiah McDuffie is likely to be asked to take on a bigger role so long as Cooper is sidelined.

Edgerrin Cooper injury update: Latest news on Packers LB's status in wild-card game | Sporting News Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper is dealing with an injury in the second half of the wild-card game against the Chicago Bears.

Posts 100-plus tackles in 2025 Cooper registered 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games with the Packers in 2025...

Impact The second-year linebacker posted double-digit tackles in five of 16 games in 2025 and played every single defensive snap in 10 of those contests. He reached the tackling century mark for the first time in his young NFL career, and his 118 combined tackles were second most on the Packers behind Quay Walker (128). Cooper is under contract with Green Bay for at least the next two seasons, with the Packers holding a fifth-year option for 2028.

Full participant Wednesday Cooper (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Cooper was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough due to the shoulder injury he sustained in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens, but the linebacker was able to upgrade to a full participant in Wednesday's session. The 24-year-old should be all set to suit up for Saturday night's wild-card showdown with the Bears as the starting weakside linebacker.

Won't play Week 18 Cooper (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Cooper was able to shed an injury designation for Sunday's game after working through a shoulder issue during Week 18 prep. However, with the Packers locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, the second-year pro will get an additional week of rest before the wild-card round. With Quay Walker (coach's decision) also inactive, Ty'Ron Hopper and Jamon Dumas-Johnson are poised to see more snaps at linebacker alongside Isaiah McDuffie during Sunday's regular-season finale. Cooper will end the 2025 regular season with 118 tackles (63 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games.

Good to go against Minnesota Cooper (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Cooper was limited in the first two practices of Week 18 prep due to a shoulder issue, but the second-year pro faded an injury designation for Sunday's regular-season finale after practicing in full Friday. Given that the Packers are locked in as the seventh seed in the NFC, Cooper and the rest of the starters could operate on a snap count as Green Bay prepares itself for the postseason.

On injury report with shoulder issue Cooper (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday.

Impact Cooper may have picked up the injury during Saturday's loss to Baltimore. The issue doesn't seem severe given his ability to log a limited practice session to begin Week 18 prep, but Green Bay has nothing to play for this weekend and is slated to rest at least some starters, which could play into a decision regarding Cooper suiting up. If Cooper were to sit out against Minnesota, it would be his first missed game this season.
