Return to the Practice Field
Denver Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper returned to practice for the first time since the regular season started. Cooper had been placed on the commissioner's exempt list after he was arrested twice in a seven-day span in June on domestic violence charges. Because of his placement on the list, he was unable to practice or play in any of the Broncos' first six games, though he continued to receive his pay.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell removed Cooper from the exempt list after his trial date was moved from November to March. The Broncos now have a one-week roster exemption to decide on adding him to the 53-player active roster for upcoming games.
Accountability and Legal Situation
Speaking to the media, Cooper stated he had no excuses and held himself accountable for the situation. He declined to answer specific questions regarding his case, but offered an apology to anyone affected by his association. Cooper faces a felony charge of second-degree assault by strangulation and three misdemeanors following incidents with his girlfriend in June.
While the legal process continues, the NFL noted that its review of the case remains ongoing. This means Cooper could still face league discipline under the personal conduct policy at a later date. Broncos coach Sean Payton has stated the team set guidelines for Cooper, which included therapy and off-field work.
