Cooper has been playing professionally since 2016. The former South Carolina All-SEC receiver was a free agent much of the 2022 season until signing to the Cardinals’ practice squad on Nov. 23.

This is Cooper’s third stint with the Cardinals. So far, he has made appearances in 2 Arizona games. He did not record any offensive statistics in those games but did contribute as a kick and punt returner.

Sunday Night Football is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
