Cooper’s Legal Trouble Rocks Broncos | Colorado Springs News

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper is in legal hot water after pleading not guilty to felony assault and violating a protection order — charges stemming from two arrests in June. The NFL has placed him on the commissioner’s exempt list, meaning he’s still getting paid and can be around team facilities but can’t play or practice. A jury trial is set for November 10th, and if found guilty, he could face suspension under the league’s domestic violence policy. Despite the turmoil, the Broncos aren’t cutting him loose — he’s due $12 million this season and was cleared to return to training camp after rehab. With Cooper sidelined, players like Jonah Elliss and Que Robinson are stepping up — and all eyes are on how this legal saga unfolds.
