BROWNS’ AMARI COOPER SET FOR RETURN IN PLAYOFFS
The Cleveland Browns star Amari Cooper is set to return from injury against the Houston Texans in his team’s wild-card round clash on Saturday. The wide receiver sat out the last two games as he recovered from a heel injury.
It’s getting better every day,” Cooper confirmed on Wednesday. “I’m running around now. Just a typical injury that you have to work through.” He added that he could have played in Sunday’s 31-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, however, the Browns opted to rest most of their starters since they had already clinched the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs.
Amari Cooper will be on the field on Saturday when the Cleveland Browns take on the Houston Texans in a Wild Card matchup.
Cooper has missed the past two games with a heel injury. He was a late scratch against the New York Jets and sat out last week along with a chunk of the other starters for a meaningless finale against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Cooper assured that if the Week 18 matchup meant anything, he would have been on the field. The Browns were locked into the No. 5 seed. He did not practice on Tuesday or Wednesday but will be ready to go to face the Texans.
