Cleveland Browns receiver Amari Cooper is set to make a comeback just in time for the Wild Card Weekend clash against the Houston Texans. Cooper, who had been absent in the last two games due to a heel injury sustained in Week 16, returned to practice on Thursday. This positive development comes as the Browns conclude their week of preparation before heading to Texas.
Cooper’s return is particularly significant for the team’s offense, which has flourished in recent weeks, thanks to the synergy between him and quarterback Joe Flacco. The connection with other key players like David Njoku and Jerome Ford has also contributed to the offensive success.

While Cooper rejoins the lineup, rookie receiver Cedric Tillman remains sidelined as he continues to undergo concussion protocol after a notable hit in the Week 18 game against the Bengals. Additionally, kicker Dustin Hopkins, recovering from a hamstring injury, is considered “unlikely” to play, adding to the list of players dealing with injuries this week.
As the Browns gear up for their playoff opener, Cooper’s return provides a significant boost to their offensive capabilities, enhancing their prospects against the Texans in this critical matchup.
