What happened: Cooper entered Saturday after catching two passes for 21 yards in the preseason opener.

Why it matters: The gain adds another live-game rep after Cooper was listed as a camp trade candidate in July. NFL rosters must be reduced to 53 players by Aug. 30.

By the numbers: The 25-yard play exceeded Cooper's entire 21-yard receiving total from the preseason opener by four yards.

What to watch: His usage over the remaining preseason schedule will offer the next indication of his roster outlook.
