Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed that the star wideout's absence was not planned.
As the team opened up mandatory minicamp on Tuesday the soon to be 30-year-old wideout was no where to be seen out on the practice field. It quickly became the story of the day from the team's facility in Berea, Ohio. The absence comes after Cleveland's top receiver was in town over the weekend for David Njoku's Celebrity Softball Game. Three days later though, he was no where to be seen.
"Yeah, not excused," the Browns head man said. "Obviously as you guys know, you really have to focus on the guys that are here. These situations, I understand that they do come up. I'll really leave all of that between Amari and Amari's Agent, and those type of conversations. But again, as you guys know, we focus on guys that are here. We'll get some good work in and really keep it at that.
With speculation swirling around Cooper's absence being related to his expiring contract situation, Stefanski wouldn't confirm if the five-time Pro Bowler had asked for an extension or not. He did note that there has been dialogue between Cooper's agent and the team.
