Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper will not play today against the Miami Dolphins, as confirmed by NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. Initially listed as “questionable” on the team’s injury report, all signs now indicate that he will be inactive for the crucial matchup.
This unexpected absence comes after Cooper has made significant contributions since his trade from the Cleveland Browns. His ability to stretch the field and make key catches has been instrumental for the Bills’ offense. With him sidelined, quarterback Josh Allen will have to rely on other receivers, including Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel, who is returning from injury himself.
The timing of Cooper’s absence is particularly unfortunate for the Bills, as they face a tough division rival in the Dolphins. The stakes are high for Buffalo, which is fighting to secure its position in the AFC East playoff race. Without one of their top offensive weapons, Allen will need to quickly adjust and find alternative ways to move the ball effectively.
The Bills are hopeful that Cooper will recover swiftly, allowing him to rejoin the lineup for upcoming games. For now, the focus will be on how the team can compensate for his absence and deliver a strong performance against Miami. This game is crucial for both teams, and how Buffalo adapts will be key to their success.
