According to tweets by the handle “OPWRESTLERS” on Feb. 2, it is believed that Cooper sustained two broken vertebrae in his neck, but a scan revealed no permanent damage.
In a statement released through Osbourn Park wrestling coach Mike Spudic via text message Monday morning, the Cooper family said the following:
“He's stable. Undergoing continuous precautionary testing. The family would like to publicly extend gratitude to the first responders and for all of the support.”
On Tuesday morning, Spudic reported in a follow-up text message, "As of yesterday afternoon, Nick is awake, he is active and improving. His parents again would like to thank all the parties involved."
