The NFL has announced it has removed Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper from the Commissioner\u2019s Exempt List. <\/p>\n
Cooper is eligible to play in the team\u2019s next game on Oct. 25 after missing six games.<\/p>\n
The NFL placed Cooper on paid leave on Aug. 30 following domestic-related charges involving two incidents with his former girlfriend in June. <\/p>\n
Cooper\u2019s motion hearing was continued on Monday at the request of the district attorney\u2019s office. He is now scheduled for a motion hearing on Feb. 23 and a jury trial the week of March 2. The NFL season ends with Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n
Cooper is facing five charges after two disputes with his ex-girlfriend that began with a fight over a cell phone. The most serious charge is felony second-degree assault\/strangulation.<\/p>\n
He participated in the team\u2019s training camp and three preseason games after pleading not guilty to all charges.<\/p>\n
Cooper lost $180,000 in per-game roster bonuses but was able to keep his six weekly game checks of $676,471 each while on leave.<\/p>\n
In its statement, the league said it will continue to investigate and monitor Cooper\u2019s legal matter until a resolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL has announced it has removed Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper from the Commissioner\u2019s Exempt List.
