Jonathon Cooper Faces Legal Fallout | NFL News

Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper is sidelined after pleading not guilty to felony assault by strangulation and violating a protection order — charges stemming from incidents in June that led to his arrest twice within a week. Medical evidence revealed injuries consistent with strangulation, including a risk of brain damage, prompting the NFL to place him on the commissioner’s exempt list. Though he remains paid and can use team facilities, he’s barred from practicing or playing. Once a consistent starter and preseason captain for the Broncos, Cooper now faces an uncertain future as teammates step in to fill his defensive role while league investigators weigh next steps.
