Jonathan Cooper could return to Cardinals this season Posted Aug 27, 2013 The Arizona Cardinals aren't ready to write off Jonathan Cooper's rookie season as a complete loss. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians told reporters Monday that Cooper is out of surgery to repair a broken leg and could return to action in 10 to 12 weeks in a best-case scenario. That timetable would allow Cooper to play in the team's final six games of the regular season. (NFL.com)
