Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Dealing with hamstring issue
Edgerrin 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 Green Bay Packers' Week 11 win over the Bears, despite playing 49 defensive snaps and recording eight total tackles.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Forces game-changing fumble
Edgerrin Cooper recorded nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass defensed during Sunday's 30-27 win at Jacksonville.Sunday's game was the most complete of Cooper's young career thus far, and it was highlighted by a strip sack on the Jaguars' four-yard line which led to a Green Bay Packers touchdown. He's gotten more regular playing time over the past few weeks after a slow start to the season, but he's still not worthy of IDP consideration in most formats yet.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Limited to individual drills
Edgerrin Cooper (groin) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.Cooper sustained a groin injury in early August, which has prevented him from participating in practices and preseason games. He has recovered enough to return to practice in a limited capacity, though the Green Bay Packers could take the cautious route and keep him out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Ravens. As a rookie second-round pick, Cooper's spot on Green Bay's 53-man roster should be safe, and he'll likely serve primarily on special teams while operating in a backup role at linebacker.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Leaves with injury
Edgerrin Cooper exited practice early Wednesday due to a groin injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.Head coach Matt LaFleur downplayed the situation, calling it a "little groin injury" for Cooper. The rookie linebacker had an impressive showing during minicamp and was working to parlay that into a starting role during training camp. He'll now look to get healthy and return to the field so he can continue his quest for a prominent role on the Green Bay Packers' defense.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Making good impression early
Edgerrin Cooper logged a strong showing during mandatory minicamp in June and is trending toward securing a first-team role for training camp, Mike Spofford of the Green Bay Packers' official site reports.Cooper, a rookie second-round pick, has a clear path to the Packers' starting middle linebacker spot following the departure of De'Vondre Campbell, so it's encouraging to already see him impressing his new coaching staff. Coach Matt LaFleur praised "how engaged [Cooper has] been and how locked in he's been throughout the course of the offseason," and by all accounts it looks like the former Texas A&M standout is quickly acclimating to new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley's scheme. At 6-foot-2, 229 pounds, Cooper is slightly undersized compared to 2022 first-round pick Quay Walker, but he boasts enough athleticism to lean on as he bulks up. Veterans Isaiah McDuffie and Eric Wilson and rookie third-rounder Ty'Ron Hopper project to round out Green Bay's linebacker corps alongside Cooper and Walker.

Packers' Edgerrin Cooper: Going up north to Green Bay
The Green Bay Packers selected Edgerrin Cooper in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 45th overall.It's a light class at inside linebacker, but with De'Vondre Campbell's departure this offseason, it was a need for Green Bay. Cooper is arguably the top-rated player from this linebacker group. The linebacker position is getting smaller and faster league-wide, and Cooper fits that mold at 6-foot-2 and just 230 pounds while compensating for his frame with 4.51 speed. He led the SEC in tackles for loss in 2023 (17.0) and showed some pass-rush chops with 8.0 sacks at Texas A&M. He will need to get by on his athleticism and likely add some bulk in order to reliably hold up against the run at the next level, but there are traits here that can make him a fixture in the Green Bay linebacking corps.
