The NFL has removed Denver Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper from the Commissioner’s Exempt List. Cooper had been on the list for six games while the league reviewed potential personal conduct violations stemming from domestic violence charges filed against him earlier this offseason. The Broncos had just secured a comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks to reach a 4-2 record for the season, and Cooper’s return makes him eligible to play starting in Week 7.
During the ongoing investigation, the league had previously indicated that Cooper’s absence extended through six games. With the exemption lifting, Cooper is cleared to participate in upcoming games, beginning with the matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. The situation remains under review, and there is potential for further disciplinary action if new information emerges.
