Cooper racked up seven tackles (six solo) a sack, an interception and two pass deflections in Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Seahawks. Cooper returned from a three-game absence in style, leading his team in tackles while picking up both the third full sack and first interception of his professional career. Cooper was on the field for only 34 of the 59 plays that Green Bay's defense recorded, but don't be surprised to see him more involved moving forward -- particularly if fellow linebacker Quay Walker (ankle) is forced to miss time.

Cooper (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday night's matchup against the Seahawks, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. The 2024 second-round pick from Texas A&M has missed each of the Packers' last three games due to hamstring injury sustained in practice. Cooper returned to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday for the first time since sustaining the injury, and after upgrading to full participation Friday, he appears to have recovered from the issue. Expect Cooper to start alongside Quay Walker as part of the Packers' top inside linebacker duo in Week 15.

Cooper (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Lions, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports. Cooper is now in line to miss his third consecutive game Thursday night after sustaining a hamstring injury in Green Bay's practice. His absence is a significant loss to the Packers' linebacker corps, as he's recorded 52 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks and one forced fumble in 10 appearances this season. Isaiah McDuffie is expected to remain one of the Packers' starting inside linebackers in Week 14 while Cooper continues to nurse his injury.

Cooper (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Cooper sustained a hamstring injury during practice last week that sidelined him for Sunday's blowout win over the 49ers, and Monday's estimated DNP likely suggests he's in jeopardy of missing more time. The rookie from Texas A&M has been one of the Packers' best inside linebackers this season, recording 52 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended through 10 appearances. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Tuesday or Wednesday to have a chance at playing in Thursday night's matchup against the Dolphins.

Cooper (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. The 2024 second-round pick from Texas A&M appears to have picked up a hamstring injury in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Bears, despite playing 49 defensive snaps and recording eight total tackles. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can play through the issue in Week 12, when the Packers host the 49ers.
