“He’ll miss, I believe, a couple of weeks,” Shanahan said. “We’ll keep our fingers crossed that he’ll be back. When will it be? I can’t tell you for sure.”
Shanahan said Cooley has had his knee drained “a few times.”
“That’s not good,” Shanahan said. “He’s a tough player and he wants to get back quick. We have to give him a break and, hopefully, he can get that knee responding well.”
Cooley has missed the majority of practices since Aug. 3.
