Updating an ongoing story, Ryan O'Halloran, of The Washington Times, reports Washington Redskins head coach Jim Zorn said on his radio show Wednesday, Oct. 28, that TE Chris Cooley's (ankle) surgery to insert three screws for his right ankle fracture was a success. Cooley could be back in four weeks. Zorn said, “The first thought was that he was going to be out eight weeks; this particular surgery was done - it was very non-evasive procedure and it was done in such a way that it if all goes well, will get him back in as little as four weeks.”

Redskins: Cooley will be back

Source (CBSSports.com) (TE - was) | 0 comments.

News: There's a chance Chris Cooley will be back this season after all. The Redskins announced Wednesday that following surgery on his ankle, the team expects Cooley to recover enough to return in four weeks. The two-time Pro Bowl player posted on Twitter that "Everything went well." Earlier Tuesday, coach Jim Zorn said Cooley would be sidelined a minimum of six to eight weeks, and the team considered placing him on season-ending injured reserve, but they won't now. The team's most reliable pass-catching threat, Cooley stumbled to the turf without contact on the first play of the second quarter of Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Cooley, who has never missed a game since the Redskins drafted him in the third round in 2004, has 29 catches for 332 yards and two touchdowns this year. [...]

Our View: The doctor who operated on the ankle seems confident that Cooley has a chance to play again this season, so we will take his word for it. Keep Cooley stashed on your bench for now, and if someone already cut him loose it might be worth your time to pick him up if you are weak at the position.

Cooley Not Out For Season?

Source (fftoday.com) (TE - was) | 0 comments.

Second Opinion On Ankle Leads To Optimistic Recovery Time

Chris Cooley is expected to undergo surgery on his fractured ankle on Wednesday morning in Baltimore and it's possible he could return later this season.Cooley is expected to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks, but there is hope that the surgery could hasten his recovery. On Tuesday morning, Jim Zorn suggested that Cooley could be a candidate for injured reserve. That prognosis has changed for the moment.However long Cooley is sidelined, his absence from the offense is "devastating," Zorn said during his Tuesday press conference. "He is such a good player for us all over the field. He is good for our football team. Much like Chris Samuels, he just wants to be around and he is going to want to be involved in what he can. But his [absence] on the field and the fight that he brings to the field--it's going to be a big loss."Fred Davis replaced Cooley in the lineup. Davis caught a career-high eight passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. (redskins.com)

FF Today's Take: Other sources have Cooley back in as little as four weeks, but that not only sounds unlikely, but also unnecessary for the Redskins in what has quickly become a lost season. Owners in deep leagues may want to hold out hope, but owners in shallow leagues should probably cut the cord. Davis is nowhere near the complete TE Cooley is, but he is a gifted receiver and given Washington's offensive line woes, he may be the most targeted Redskin in Cooley's absence.

Cooley Out For The Year, Broken Tibia

Fred Davis Moves Into Starting Lineup

Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has never missed a game in his six-year career. But that streak seems to be in severe danger after he broke his right tibia on the opening play of the second quarter. His leg appeared to buckle as he was running a route. He had to be taken to the locker room on a cart, and the team said later he broke his leg. "We're quite certain it's broke or fractured in some way," coach Jim Zorn said. "He'll be out awhile. I don't know if it's going to be a season-ending injury yet." (Washington Times)

FF Today's Take: Interesting, as Cooley's injury was not a direct result of a hit but occurred as he was running a route. Fred Davis will take over for Cooley in the starting lineup and is worthy of a look. Davis had 10 targets, 8 catches, and 1 TD on Monday night.
