Overview
- Cooper reported to the Broncos' training camp on Tuesday and took part in acclimation practice with the team.
- He faces multiple charges from two June arrests, including a felony count of second-degree assault by strangulation, and is scheduled to be arraigned on August 31.
- Reports say Cooper completed a roughly 40-day inpatient counseling and wellness program and met with coach Sean Payton, general manager George Paton, and owner Greg Penner during his time away.
- The NFL is conducting a personal-conduct investigation that can result in discipline separate from the criminal case, meaning a suspension is possible even without a conviction.
- Cooper is a core piece of Denver’s pass rush on a four-year, $60 million deal, so his legal and league status creates a clear roster and defensive planning risk for the Broncos.
