The Cleveland Browns face a tough divisional game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon. The team is undefeated against Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow, but they’ll need to be at their best if that’s going to continue. And it looks like the team got some pretty good news on Sunday morning as star wide receiver Amari Cooper is set to play despite injuring his hip this week.
According to NFL reporter James Palmer of The NFL Network, Amari Cooper is active and should be set to play for the Browns today, although he might be limited.
#browns WR Amari Cooper (hip) who is questionable for today vs the #bengals just finished an early pregame workout. He injured the hip in practice on Thursday. He will be active today per source. There could be a pitch count in place though for him. pic.twitter.com/syz3x451tJ

It’s pretty huge news for the Browns, especially as quarterback Deshaun Watson tries to get comfortable leading the team in just his second start with Cleveland. And the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.

I hate to do it but he’ll be on the fantasy bench this week.

Amari Cooper has been the Browns’ most productive receiver so far this season. The team would obviously like to see him available to make plays against the Bengals.
