Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb are expected to play in their team's pivotal Week 7 clash against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
Cooper exited last week's loss against the New York Jets due to a quad injury and practiced for the first time during the week on Friday.
The 25-year-old has battled injuries since training camp, as he has been nursing foot and ankle issues. However, that has not stopped him from producing, as Cooper has logged 33 catches for 515 yards and five touchdowns.
The Cowboys initially acquired Cooper midway through last season, landing him a trade with the Oakland Raiders. In nine games with Dallas in 2018, he caught 53 passes for 725 yards and six scores. On the season as a whole, he hauled in 75 receptions for 1,005 yards while reaching the end zone seven times, making the Pro Bowl as a result.
Cooper was originally drafted by the Raiders with the fourth overall pick in 2015 and made a pair of Pro Bowl appearances in the Bay.
Meanwhile, the Cowboys signed Cobb during the offseason, hoping he would replace Cole Beasley and be their No. 3 receiver behind Cooper and Michael Gallup.
Prior to missing Week 6 with a back injury, Cobb had been fairly productive in his role, snaring 17 balls for 210 yards and a touchdown.
Like Cooper, Cobb, who spent the first eight years of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, had his first practice of the week on Friday.
The Cowboys have lost three straight games after a 3-0 start.
