Bills big-name WR returns to team ahead of Broncos game

Amari Cooper has returned.

After missing the Buffalo Bills’ regular season finale due to a personal matter, the veteran wide receiver returned to the team on Wednesday ahead of their playoff game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

Cooper, a five-time Pro Bowler, was acquired by the Bills via trade with the Cleveland Browns in October. He played six games with the Browns earlier this year and eight games with the Bills, hauling in 44 receptions for 547 yards and four touchdowns in 14 games this season.

The 30-year-old receiver started his career with the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders and has played against the Broncos nine times in his career. In those contests, Cooper totaled 31 receptions for 329 yards and two touchdowns.

Cooper is part of a Buffalo wide receiver room that also includes Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman.

Sunday’s AFC Wild Card game will be nationally televised on CBS.
