Babin's injury is not related to his Achilles tendon. The Pro Bowler will have an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity of the injury. McLane reported Babin fell awkwardly during a one-on-one drill with offensive tackle Todd Herremans. Doctors looked at his leg before he was carted off the field.
Cooper was injured on a deep pass after getting tangled up with cornerback Curtis Marsh in one-on-one drills. It's likely he'll miss an extended period of time.
On Thursday, starting tight Brent Celek was shut down after spraining the MCL in his right knee.
General manager Howie Roseman said Saturday no move is pending with Cooper on the shelf, but feel free to begin speculation regarding Plaxico Burress' imminent arrival.
