Edgerrin Cooper was ruled out of Packers' game against the Buccaneers on Sunday after suffering an Achilles injury. According to multiple outlets, the starting Will linebacker was carted off the field after dropping to the ground awkwardly on a third-down blitz. Dr. David Chao identified the injury as a left Achilles injury, which the team confirmed shortly after, per NFL Trade Rumors.
The primary concern is Cooper's availability for the rest of the season. Pro Football Talk and other outlets reported that the team views the injury as potentially significant for his long-term status. Cooper, 24, was a two-year starter at Texas A&M who earned first-team All-American and first-team All-SEC honors in 2023 before being selected by Green Bay.
