Broncos LB Faces Felony Assault Charge | Denver Broncos News

Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper faces felony assault charges after two June arrests, including alleged strangulation and violating a protection order — charges that could derail his NFL career. Pleading not guilty, Cooper’s team demands a speedy trial, while the Broncos stand by him, noting his rehab stint and return to training camp. Now on the commissioner’s exempt list, he’s on paid leave but still eligible for meetings — though the NFL may treat this as a suspension. His trial looms in November, just days after the Broncos open their season against the Chiefs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
