Oakland Raiders receiver Amari Cooper — who entered Week 14’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs with an ankle injury — left the game when he got rolled up.
“Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper came into Sunday’s game as a question mark because of a right ankle injury, but got the green light to face a Chiefs team he scorched earlier this season,” Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk noted. “The Raiders offense isn’t scorching anyone right now, however, and Cooper’s out of the game. He got rolled up on a running play in the second quarter and needed medical attention on the field before returning to the sideline.”
The injury was a re-aggravation of what kept him out of Week 13’s game.
Cooper had no receptions on only one target in the first half. In 2017’s first meeting between the two teams, Cooper had by far his best game of the season. Then, he caught 11 passes for 210 yards and two scores.
The injury is a part of what’s been a disastrous first half for the Raiders, who trail the Chiefs 16-0 at halftime.
