Tuscaloosa, AL (SportsNetwork.com) – Alabama star wide receiver Amari Cooper
left Saturday’s game against Western Carolina with an apparent left knee
injury.
On 3rd-and-20 early in the first quarter, Cooper ran a dig route and caught
the ball along the near sideline before racing inside the Catamounts 5 for a
27-yard gain.
Cooper, a favorite to win the Biletnikoff Award given to the nation’s top
receiver, took a solid hit to the left knee and limped off the field to the
Crimson Tide sideline.
After receiving attention from medical personnel, Cooper walked into the
locker room for further observation. He jogged out to the field moments later,
but he still moved with a noticeable limp and his return is questionable.
