Indiana's leading wide receiver, Omar Cooper, is expected to have no limitations for Thursday's College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Alabama in the Rose Bowl, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Cooper suffered a lower-body injury in the Big Ten title game against Ohio State on Dec. 6.
The junior receiver has totaled a team-high 58 receptions and 804 yards this season. His 11 receiving touchdowns rank second on the team, trailing only Elijah Sarratt's 12.
Indiana is the No. 1 seed in the CFP, while Alabama enters as the No. 9 seed. The Crimson Tide beat Oklahoma in the first round to book a date with the Hoosiers.
The Rose Bowl is slated to kick off Thursday at 4 p.m. ET.
