Amari Cooper dealing with “a form of plantar fasciitis,” plans to be ready for season opener

When Amari Cooper was first injured in training camp, it didn’t seem like a big deal. The injury was first reported as a bruised heel which seem likely to clear up in a week or two at most. Since then, it’s been termed a ligament injury and then the more specific plantar fasciitis. Indeed, that is what is keeping the Cowboys star wide receiver sidelined. As he puts it, “a form of plantar fasciitis.” Nobody ever wants to hear plantar fasciitis as that injury has been known to linger and keep players sidelined for extended periods of time.
