Cowboys WR Amari Cooper has 'plantar fascia irritation'

Aug 13, 2019

Dallas Cowboys star Amari Cooper has missed a week of training camp due to what the team has officially defined as a “heel bruise.” A source tells me, however, that the Pro Bowl receiver is actually suffering from “plantar fascia irritation” - while also noting, “He’ll be fine.”

Fantasy Impact:

Plantar fasciitis has a scary ring to it, the story said. It's a “very small muscle strain” of the plantar fascia, which is the a ligamentous connective tissue that runs from the heel bone to the ball of the foot. There are different levels of potential injury there, all the way up to a tear. It's being described as an "irritation" or "inflammation."

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) still isn’t practicing, putting his availability for Thursday Night Football in doubt.

Fantasy Impact:

Higgins missed practice all of last week and did not play in Sunday’s win over the Raiders, the story pointed out. With Higgins out and Burton also out last week, Chase, Iosivas and Irwin were the top WRs, but Gesicki had a big game from the TE position and could be a top target again. The Bengals play on Thursday night at the Ravens.
