That was one hell of a hi-point catch and I couldn't believe he held onto it through his head squarely smashing off the ground with his whole body weight coming down on it. He noticeably stayed down for a second or 2 wincing in pain.  In my opinion claiming there's a personal matter  being dealt with is the Bills way of giving him rest/time to recover from smashing his noggin and getting concussed without the risk of the league not passing him on a physical to play Sunday. Watch that catch again and explain to me how he didn't ring his bell badly............

With that said go bills and let's March to the Superbowl, the winter soldier will take no prisoners!!!

 

Guess you missed it:

He said the pain was from his tailbone hitting the ground, which certainly seems logical. Plus, if he had a head injury and they're not reporting it, that wouldn't be ideal.

 

My Mother slipped on ice and broke her tailbone in the 70s.  She said it was excruciating pain.  Theres no comfortable way to sleep, or sit, just torture for weeks

[JÂy RÛßeÒ]

I think he went into blue tent for head injury and was cleared so the league at least was happy at the time.

[Bray Wyatt]

Are you down with Dre like AC is down with OJ?? Oh wait, diff AC...... 

[MJS]

Wasn't he practicing before and then got downgraded to out a day before the game?

[zow2]

The league takes the injury report stuff seriously.  I mean even Jalen Hurts is still in concussion protocol, for 16 days and counting!   So if there is any hint that Cooper has a head injury, or any injury that the Bills are "hiding", that would be surprising.

Man, it's really hard waiting for Sunday's game...

 

This week is going by like a month. Worse than waiting for the regular season to start.

So, are we talking about Amari Cooper? Al Cowlings? Alternating Current? Why do we have to guess? 

 

With that being said, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, why can’t we just take them at their word? 

and wait for practice report to come out

If the Bills are hiding head injuries like OP says I hope the entire McBeane staff gets fired immediately.

FWIW, Cooper's own explanation was that he hurt his tailbone. 

And if he needed time to rest and recover, the optimal place would be One Bills Drive.  There would be no need to make any announcement about a "personal matter"; just put him on the injury report and let him stay in Buffalo to rehab as other players with injuries have done this year.

I’m speculating he fell hard on that play and that something is seriously wrong with someone he cares deeply about, and the details are none of our darn business!

SC (Sal Cappaccio) said on WGR Monday morning that he (AC {Amari Cooper}) went into the (BT) Blue Tent with the UNC (Unaffiliated Neuro Consultant), was evaluated for a HI (Head Injury) and was CtP (Cleared to Play).

Tail bone and wind knocked out of him is all

 

He will be back tomorrow and he is going to go 10 for 145 yards on Sunday
