What happened: Edgerrin Cooper exited Sunday's game and will not return after sustaining an Achilles injury. He grabbed his lower leg on the field and required a medical cart to leave the playing surface.

Why it matters: Losing the 2024 second-round draft pick removes a central piece from the defensive unit. Edgerrin Cooper had just cleared protocol to come off the injury report on Saturday. A full rupture would end his 2026 campaign entirely.

What to watch: Medical staff will evaluate the leg to determine if surgical repair is necessary. Injured reserve placement is imminent if imaging confirms a complete tear.
