Jerry Jones and his doubts about Amari Cooper

Dr. Jerry Jones reacted to General Manager Jerry Jones’s decision to put the Los Angeles catcher Dallas Cowboys, Amari Cooper, on the list of players physically unable to play at the beginning of training sessions.

While speaking to reporters, Jones revealed after Sunday’s training session that Cooper – along with defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (back) – will likely not be training again before the preseason game against the Cardinals on Aug. 13.

“I bet it will be after the game against Arizona,” Jones said, via Jon Machotaby The Athletic. “I think we can see them play (referring to the players on the disabled list).”

According to Todd Archer, On ESPN, Jones hopes Cooper and Lawrence can play, even “a little,” during preseason games leading up to the season opener against Tampa Bay.

The Cowboys’ home game on August 21, against Houston, will be a rehearsal before playing against the Super Bowl champions, and at the same time it will be the day of Cooper’s debut, even if he plays little.

Cooper felt irritation in his operated ankle

That the Cowboys’ main receiver didn’t participate in any of the team’s activities this spring was a bit of a mystery. That was until on June 9, coach Mike McCarthy announced that Cooper was “having a problem with your ankle”, Which was operated on at the beginning of January.

“The Cowboys catcher had surgery. He should have no problem participating in the training that the team can carry out, ”reported the Dallas Morning News. January 7.

However, Cooper struggled during his recovery. And while his stint on the disabled list may be temporary, the $ 100 million receiver still has an ankle pain.

“Cowboys catcher Amari Cooper may not be ready to start training because of an ankle injury. It is not serious, but about two weeks ago he felt some discomfort that prevented him from running ”, reported Ian Rapoport, from NFL Network, on June 9. “Cooper will not be able to run for two to three weeks as he has to take care of his ankle. The reason you can miss the start of practice and end up on the disabled list is because you can re-injure your ankle if you don’t get proper rest.

But you can be optimistic: Cooper was seen working out during Sunday’s practice – he had no problems – and arrived in Oxnard in great physical condition, ready to begin his fourth season with the team.

“I’m not worried … he looks very fit.” Better than last year, ”McCarthy said last week, Dallas Morning News.
