Cooper's 2-catch, 21-yard preseason game shows cooling after strong camp.

Cooper has been the overall star of training camp but has cooled off slightly recently. The Eagles have been hesitant to give him many first-team reps, possibly wanting him to continue earning them. In the preseason opener, Cooper was targeted 5 times but caught just 2 passes for 21 yards and had a rare drop.
