Cooper has bruised ribs

Cowboys WR Amari Cooper is dealing with bruised ribs, HC Mike McCarthy said Monday. Cooper reportedly suffered the injury back in Week 1 and aggravated the issue in Sunday's win over the Chargers. Cooper played his usual allotment of snaps in that one but finished with just 3 catches on 5 targets for 24 yards. We'll keep an eye on him this week, leading up to next Monday night's game vs. the Eagles.

Update: David Helman of the team website reports that Cooper says he's "optimistic he'll be feeling good enough to play by Monday." That makes it sound like the issue is bothering Cooper a fair amount right now. We'll have to watch reports on him throughout the week.
