WR Amari Cooper set to make Bills debut vs. Titans after midweek trade from Browns

The newly acquired playmaker in Buffalo’s offense will play in Week 7.

Wide receiver Amari Cooper is set to play for the Bills on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo reported on NFL GameDay Kickoff.

On Friday, Bills head coach Sean McDermott was not sure if Cooper would be able to play in Sunday’s game due to being traded earlier in the week.

"We'll see, I mean, I would think so, but I wanna see, and I wanna visit with the coaches again,” McDermott told reporters.

With Cooper active, Bills Mafia will get a chance to see how the five-time Pro Bowl wideout fits with quarterback Josh Allen.

Cooper was acquired on Tuesday from the Cleveland Browns. It marked the third time in Cooper’s career that he has been traded.

The move for Cooper offers Allen a true No. 1 receiver who can get separation from his defenders and make big-time plays. Buffalo relied on Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman to create plays.

After trading for Cooper, the Bills released veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling. In six games, Valdes-Scantling recorded two catches for 26 yards.

In 2024, Cooper generated 24 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns in six games for Cleveland.

Cooper will debut at Highmark Stadium at 1 p.m. ET against the Titans.
