Cowboys Rumors: Amari Cooper 'Fine' After Precautionary MRI on Ankle Injury

The Dallas Cowboys' Amari Cooper had an MRI on his ankle Wednesday that was deemed "precautionary," and the receiver is "fine," sources told the Dallas Morning News' Calvin Watkins.

Cooper has played in all three of Dallas' regular-season games this season. The 25-year-old Pro Bowler is tied with T.Y. Hilton and Julio Jones for most receiving touchdowns in the NFL with four, and his 238 receiving yards on 16 catches from 21 targets lead Dallas receivers.

Cooper dealt said he was dealing with plantar fasciitis in his left foot—although it was also described as a heel bruise or a ligament problem—throughout training camp and the preseason.

"I played with a lot of foot injuries," Cooper said Aug. 22, according to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I played with high ankle sprains. All those things so I'm pretty good at playing with foot injuries. But I don't think I'm going to have to play with it."

Cooper didn't seem hampered once the season began:

Bigger picture for the Cowboys, receiver Michael Gallup has already been hit by a meniscus injury. Their second-leading receiver underwent arthroscopic knee surgery Sept. 17 that could sideline him up to four weeks.

The 3-0 Cowboys have their toughest test yet at the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football.
