The Buffalo Bills' offense might be getting Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper back from a wrist injury in time to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. Cooper has missed the last two games and has been making slow, but steady progress in his bid to return and has been a participant at practice this week. The player himself has stated he has a good shot at suiting up on Sunday.
If he can, he'll give Josh Allen another weapon to try to take down Patrick Mahomes. And for fellow receiver Khalil Shakir, he knows the difference Cooper can make when he's on the field. “Coop is somebody when he's on the field you got to account for him,” Shakir said .
“Just the level that he's played at is amazing. So when he's on the field, he's dangerous and he makes plays and one of the best in the league at making at making plays. He's dynamic, and having him is huge.

"It felt good, don't really feel any pain or anything catching the ball, it's just got to get used to catching the ball with it [cast]," Cooper said . With tight end Dalton Kincaid already ruled out of the clash, the onus will be on others in Dawson Knox, Cooper, Shakir, and Keon Coleman to shoulder the workload. And it is perhaps the lucky timing that when one key weapon goes out, another in Amari comes back in.
