Amari Cooper joined the Buffalo Bills from the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 15 for draft compensation ahead of this season's trade deadline. The perennial Pro Bowler is now a genuine Super Bowl contender after years spent on the perpetually rebuilding Browns.
Ahead of Week 13, let's examine Cooper's availability for the Bills' game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Is Amari Cooper playing tonight?
Yes, Amari Cooper is playing in tonight's game against the 49ers. The shifty pass catcher has shaken off a wrist injury and looks healthy enough to start at Highmark Stadium.

Cooper started the week on the injury report. However, he was a full participant in every single training session that the team held in the lead-up to Sunday's game. Hence, barring any unfortunate occurrences, he'll be catching balls from Josh Allen in Week 13.
Cooper is one of four wide receivers that appeared on the final injury report for Week 13. Keon Coleman (wrist) is listed as questionable to play, while Curtis Samuel (pectoral) and Mack Hollins (shoulder) enter the game without injury designations.
How has Amari Cooper performed with the Bills?
Amari Cooper has been decent but unspectacular since he joined the Bills from the Cleveland Browns. Cooper has featured in three games for Sean McDermott's side, and he's racked up a stat line of seven catches, 124 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Cooper's best game as a Bill was against the Tennessee Titans when he snagged four catches off five targets for 66 receiving yards and one touchdown. He showed the Buffalo fans a glimpse of what to expect if he and Josh Allen build a connection.
However, Cooper is in danger of missing out on the 1,000 receiving yards mark for the first time since his last season in Dallas. He'll need to rack up a couple of high-yardage games to keep his proud streak alive. With Josh Allen as his quarterback, it'll be inadvisable to write off the perennial Pro Bowler just yet.
