Packers will return rookie LB Edgerrin Cooper from 3-game absence

The Green Bay Packers will return rookie linebacker Edgerrin Cooper from a hamstring injury that cost him the last three games.

Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Cooper will play Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks after missing almost a month with a hamstring injury.

“He was doing a really good job (before the injury). It’s going to be great to get him back out there,” LaFleur said Friday. “He obviously brings an element, in terms of his speed and athleticism, adds another dimension to our defense.”

Cooper suffered the hamstring injury during practice on the Wednesday before playing the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.
