Broncos Open Summer Workouts with Jonathon Cooper and Michael Wilhoite Back After Legal Issues
The outside linebacker faces a felony strangulation charge after two June arrests, and the district attorney added the count after a forensic exam.
- On Wednesday, Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper reported to training camp despite facing a felony charge of second-degree assault by strangulation following two June arrests.
- Following two arrests in June, forensic evidence from a nurse at Anschutz Medical Center concluded Cooper's girlfriend endured "strangulation with hypoxia and traumatic brain injury" with substantial risk of death.
- Cooper signed a 4-year, $60 million contract extension in 2024 and has started 52 consecutive games for the Denver Broncos, with arraignment scheduled for August 31.
- Head coach Sean Payton said the team is "staying the course with the league protocol" while supporting Cooper and monitoring the situation closely.
- Analyst Mina Kimes and Natasha Adler, Andom Center program director, argue the NFL should suspend Cooper, noting studies show strangulation increases domestic homicide risk by 750%.
