Alabama WR Cooper leaves game with apparent knee injury

Tuscaloosa, AL (SportsNetwork.com) – Alabama star wide receiver Amari Cooper left Saturday’s game against Western Carolina with an apparent left knee injury.

On 3rd-and-20 early in the first quarter, Cooper ran a dig route and caught the ball along the near sideline before racing inside the Catamounts 5 for a 27-yard gain.

Cooper, a favorite to win the Biletnikoff Award given to the nation’s top receiver, took a solid hit to the left knee and limped off the field to the Crimson Tide sideline.

After receiving attention from medical personnel, Cooper walked into the locker room for further observation. He jogged out to the field moments later, but he still moved with a noticeable limp and his return is questionable.
