Amari Cooper to Miss Practice Thursday After MRI on Knee
By Michael Luciano
The Dallas Cowboys have a tough task ahead of them on Sunday Night Football against Xavier Rhodes and the Minnesota Vikings defense. If Amari Cooper's knee doesn't cooperate, they could be in for a full-on nightmare.
Cooper will not practice on Thursday after undergoing an MRI on his knee yesterday. Instead, he will meet with a doctor to determine the severity of his injury.

Cooper has 701 yards receiving and six touchdowns this season. Those numbers are even more impressive when you consider that he played just three snaps in a loss against the Jets with an injury.
After Jon Gruden turned Cooper into a bubble screen-heavy target during his last year in Oakland, Kellen Moore has unlocked his potential as a field-stretcher once again, and Cooper has rewarded Dallas' trust in him with what should be another Pro Bowl season.

It's safe to say that things are looking pretty grim for Prescott and the Cowboys if they have to go against a Mike Zimmer defense without the services of their No. 1 wide receiver, unless Michael Gallup suddenly turns into Michael Irvin.
