Another Cowboys starter goes down with an injury, will he play against the Saints?

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper injured his right ankle in the 31-6 victory against the Miami Dolphins last Sunday.

He complained about it at practice Wednesday.

The Cowboys ordered a magnetic resonance imaging exam out of precaution.

Coach Jason Garrett said the test came back negative and termed Cooper day to day heading into Sunday’s showdown against the New Orleans Saints.

Cooper, who has played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot through the first three games, leads the team in receptions (16), yards (238), targets (21) and touchdown receptions (four).

His availability for Sunday’s game is imperative to the team’s success.

The Cowboys are already without starter Michael Gallup, who missed last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. He is expected to be sidelined at least another week.

Receiver Tavon Austin returned to practice Wednesday after missing the past two games with a concussion.
