Broncos LB Cooper Faces Legal Fallout | Denver Broncos News

Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper faces a virtual court date this Friday over felony assault charges from two June arrests, with his arraignment set for August 31. After completing a month-long inpatient counseling program while staying connected to the team, his legal saga may extend into the summer and possibly the regular season—especially if he pleads not guilty. The charges escalated from misdemeanors after a domestic dispute to felony assault following a second arrest for violating a protection order. The Broncos now grapple with potential NFL discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy, risking a six-game suspension. Cooper was excused from mandatory minicamp, and his presence at training camp remains uncertain. With strong depth at outside linebacker thanks to players like Nik Bonitto and Jonah Elliss, the team has flexibility—but their final decision hinges on the outcome of Cooper’s legal case.
