GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers linebacker Edgerrin Cooper has made the most of his limited opportunities. The Packers can't wait to see what the rookie second-round pick from Texas A&M will do next. In his return after missing three games, Cooper recorded a sack and his first career interception in Sunday's 30-13 victory at Seattle. The performance earned Cooper NFC defensive player of the week honors for a second time. He's the first Packer to earn that award multiple times in one season since Clay Matthews during Green Bay's Super Bowl championship run in 2010.
