I don't think Cooper will be used in the offense at all, at least not initially but one thing that is good about him (for ST) is he is a strong, solidly-built guy that can block as a WR.  

Perine makes a ton of sense after what happened to Anderson.  

Or it is possible that they realize the o-line wouldn't hold up long enough to take advantage of Malone's speed and having another solid slot guy is more useful.
