Cooper Suspended as Broncos Adjust | Denver Broncos News

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper is on paid leave after being placed on the NFL Commissioner’s exempt list, following two arrests this offseason and facing felony assault charges — with an arraignment set for August 31. While the league investigates, Cooper won’t count against the roster, clearing the way for Jonah Elliss to step into a starting role as Denver reshapes its edge rush depth. With legal proceedings ongoing and potential suspensions looming, the Broncos are monitoring the situation while preparing for the season ahead.
