The Cowboys activated wide receiver Amari Cooper from the COVID-19 list, the team announced on Wednesday. ESPN's Ed Werner was the first to report that Cooper is expected to play Thursday night against the Saints.
Cooper was placed on the COVID-19 list on Nov. 19 and has missed Dallas's last two games— both losses. Cooper is unvaccinated and needed to miss a minimum of 10 days. Earlier on Wednesday, NFL Network reported that Cooper was still experiencing symptoms and was unlikely to play, however.
Regardless, the Cowboys can expect to get back a major weapon.
