Cooley is no longer dealing with swelling in the knee following workouts, Shanahan said.

Cooley caught eight passes in five games in 2011.

Shanahan said that Cooley is not the only player with improved health -- Santana Moss is also healthier heading into the 2012 season, the team announced via its offical Twitter feed.
