The Las Vegas Raiders have signed wide receiver Amari Cooper to a one-year contract, marking his return to the team that originally drafted him fourth overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. Cooper, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, spent his first four professional seasons with the Raiders before moving on to other teams. The 2025 deal reunites Cooper with the Silver and Black, where he is expected to take on a prominent role in the offense led by quarterback Geno Smith. Cooper has expressed enthusiasm about returning to the Raiders and aims to learn the team's offense by the season opener on September 7. Meanwhile, other NFL injury updates include Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill progressing toward playing in Week 1, running back Jaylen Wright sidelined after a minor procedure, and tight end Darren Waller gradually ramping up practice activity following his return from retirement. Tennessee Titans cornerback L'Jarius Sneed is also trending toward availability for the season opener.
