Cowboys' Cooper (ankle) day-to-day after clean MRI

The MRI on Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper's injured right ankle came back clean on Thursday. "We're hopeful he'll be ready to go as the week goes on," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett told reporters.

Cooper has been a limited practice participant this week as unbeaten Dallas prepares for Sunday night's road game at New Orleans. Cooper caught six passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns in last weekend's 31-6 victory over Miami. He has 16 catches for 238 yards and is tied for the NFL lead with four touchdown grabs.
