Amari Cooper’s Week 9 Status Uncertain Due to Wrist Injury

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper is listed as questionable for Week 9 of the NFL season due to a wrist injury, casting uncertainty over his availability for the upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins.

Cooper, who was recently traded to the Bills, has been dealing with the wrist injury and has been a limited participant in all three practice sessions leading up to the game. Despite returning to play against the Seattle Seahawks last week after hurting his wrist, Cooper’s limited practice participation has led to his questionable status.

The Bills have promoted wide receiver Jalen Virgil from their practice squad, which could indicate that Cooper might miss the divisional matchup against the Dolphins. This move, along with Cooper’s limited practice time, suggests that the team is preparing for the possibility of his absence.

If Cooper does not play, the Bills are likely to rely on a rotation of receivers including Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and potentially Curtis Samuel, who is also listed as questionable with a pectoral injury. Shakir has been a consistent performer in recent weeks and could see an increased role if Cooper is unable to play.

Cooper’s stats this season include 29 catches for 319 yards and three touchdowns, with an average of 39.9 yards per game. However, his integration into the Bills’ offense has been gradual, and he has yet to play more than 50 percent of snaps in a single game since joining the team.

Fantasy football owners should monitor Cooper’s status closely, as his injury and limited role could impact his performance. The Bills’ game against the Dolphins is scheduled for 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, November 3, and will be broadcast on CBS and available for live streaming on Fubo and Paramount+.
