The Packers left LB Edgerrin Cooper off the week's final injury report, indicating he's ready to return from his three-game hamstring injury.

The rookie's role had grown, with his two largest snap shares of the season coming just before the injury.

He hurt the hamstring in practice ahead of Week 12 and missed the past three games.

Cooper remained limited Wednesday and Thursday this week but put in a full Friday practice.

His increased pre-injury playing time still topped out at just 71%, so the rookie's not a strong IDP option for most leagues. But he should return to the No. 2 LB role for Green Bay.

That figures to push Isaiah McDuffie back down to a part-time position.
