Washington Redskins tight end Chris Cooley will miss a few weeks with a sore knee, head coach Mike Shanahan said on Friday night.
"Keep our fingers crossed that he’ll be back. When it will be, I can’t tell you for sure," Shanahan said via Rick Maese of the Washington Post.
Maese adds that the 29-year-old underwent arthroscopic surgery after last season, and has experienced irritation and swelling during training camp. An MRI did not reveal anything alarming, Shanahan said.
The former third-round pick out of Utah State, Cooley has 420 receptions for 4,638 yards and 33 touchdowns over the last seven seasons. A two-time Pro Bowler, Cooley missed more than half of 2009 with an ankle injury, but rebounded to catch 77 passes for 849 yards and three touchdowns in 2010, his first season under Shanahan.
