When you're Darius Cooper and you're undrafted and low man on the depth chart and the Eagles just added four wide receivers this offseason, you really have to find ways to stand out in limited reps. Cooper sure did that Wednesday. He made a number of good catches, most notably a diving snag of a Jalen Hurts pass down the middle of the field.

Cooper's diving catches in camp could force Eagles' difficult WR roster decision.

Darius Cooper, an undrafted wide receiver low on the Eagles' depth chart after the team added four new receivers this offseason, made impressive catches during Wednesday's training camp practice to stand out in limited reps. Most notably, Cooper made a diving snag of a Jalen Hurts pass down the middle of the field and held onto the ball after landing hard. These types of plays are what helped Cooper make the team last year, but the WR room is significantly deeper this year, making roster retention difficult. However, if Cooper continues making plays like this, especially in preseason games, he will force the Eagles to make a difficult roster decision.
