Eagles Activate Rookie Receiver Darius Cooper from Injured Reserve for Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles have activated rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper from Injured Reserve for their Week 8 game against the New York Giants. Cooper missed the last four games after suffering a shoulder injury against the Rams on September 21, which caused his shoulder to pop out but did not require surgery. His practice window opened on Thursday, and he was initially listed as questionable. Cooper's activation is timely, as the Eagles will be without star receiver A.J. Brown. An undrafted rookie from Tarleton State, Cooper made the 53-man roster after an impressive training camp, playing 20 offensive snaps and 17 special teams snaps in the first three weeks, though he has yet to record his first NFL catch.
