Amari Cooper (heel) remains out Thursday for Cleveland
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel) is not practicing on Thursday for Week 18 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
What It Means:
Cooper was held out of last Thursday's game versus the New York Jets and the Browns may keep him sidelined until the playoffs. Elijah Moore (concussion) could also be inactive and the team already announced that Jeff Driskel will start in place of Joe Flacco (rest). Cedric Tillman and David Bell will likely run in two-wide sets if Cooper and Moore are out.
The Bengals are allowing the 10th-most FanDuel points per game to wide receivers this season and they have the sixth-worst pass defense in the league, according to numberFire's opponent-adjusted efficiency metrics.
