Cowboys news: Amari Cooper plans to play on Monday, despite injury being more serious than reported

Amari Cooper wants to prove he is the best. Despite the Cowboys wide receiver confirming that his injury is more than a bruise, Cooper plans to play on Monday.

The Dallas Cowboys will apparently have their No. 1 wide receiver available for Monday’s NFC East showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Amari Cooper told reporters Friday his rib is “cracked” instead of bruised, but he plans on playing because “I want to be the best.” Cooper was limited in practice Thursday, and head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters his ribs were bruised.
