He’s been injury prone his whole career, hopefully he can stay healthy. Let’s give him a few games.
Yeah I just checked his injury history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Cooper), but if he can stay healthy, right now he looks like an improvement over Lauvao... The one we've been begging for all offseason!

I know it's way too early but I wonder if Cooper could work out here long term. He's only 28, there's still a chance he could pan out.
At the minimum he is a sold depth guy, the exact type of guy we needed to bring in this offseason. I'd still would have a better plan at LG than Cooper, but Id work Coop to find out if he wants to be a part of the plan going forward as our primary guy if someone goes down.
In the draft there are solid group of late first round, early second Guard prospects. Also, James Carpenter is a pending free agent...he is 30, but playing decent. He is someone who could be a transition guy for us. Healthy Vet who can play.
We clearly put ourselves in this position by not having an interior Oline plan. Their were/are solutions...

The only knock on Cooper was staying healthy right? If so, it really couldn't hurt to add him if he plays well the rest of the season.
Any word on Trent?

Draft a starting left guard in the 1st 4 rounds for everything right in this world. If Cooper stays healthy keep him as the top backup. Invest in left guard!!!

Not just left guard, but all Oline positions.

Holy Crap:
Cooley said Cooper at LG was the best performance we've had at LG ALL SEASON!
Dude...WTF! why wasn't he signed before! Damn, we lucked out

Just listened to it... He also said he passed off stunts better than anybody at LG this season... Honestly it's no surprise, he is so clearly and obviously an upgrade over Lauvao.
