Broncos star coming off commissioner’s exempt list — but still could be suspended

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper has been removed from the NFL’s commissioner’s exempt list, clearing a path for his potential return to the field. Cooper, who has been barred from practice and games since August 30 following two domestic violence arrests in June, now faces the possibility of playing in the Broncos’ Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

The 28-year-old is currently charged with one felony and three misdemeanors related to the incidents, which involved a physical altercation with his girlfriend over accusations of infidelity. In a statement released Friday, Cooper expressed gratitude for the organization’s support and vowed to focus on personal growth, though he remains subject to further league discipline under the NFL’s conduct policy.
