Apart from a late injury or setback, Amari Cooper will play against the Chiefs on Sunday night. The Bills' wideout is active on the team roster and is expected to take the field.

Cooper remained off the injury list throughout the week and participated fully in practice sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. As a result, he should play in Sunday's game against the defending Super Bowl champion.

Cooper began the 2024 season playing for the Cleveland Browns, but he was traded to the Bills on October 15. Since then, he has offered a different dynamic to Buffalo's offense and linked up well with quarterback Josh Allen.

How has Bills WR Amari Cooper performed this season?

Amari Cooper finished the regular season with 547 yards and four touchdowns on 44 receptions. He played six games with the Browns, posting 250 yards and two touchdowns on 24 receptions. After his trade, Cooper played eight games for the Bills and helped them clinch the AFC East.

Cooper has not been his best in the postseason. He had eight yards on two receptions in Buffalo's wild-card round win over the Denver Broncos. The receiver was targeted just once in the Bills divisional playoff win over the Baltimore Ravens.

The Bills hope Cooper, a five-time Pro Bowler, delivers in the final stretch of the postseason as they aim to end their drought for a Super Bowl title.
