"The Denver Broncos on Wednesday hit the field for the first time this summer after welcoming back a player and a coach who've had run-ins with the law. Linebacker Jonathon Cooper, who faces an Aug. 31 arraignment on several domestic violence charges following two arrests last month, returned to the field Wednesday when the Broncos began their acclimation period ahead of the start of training camp this weekend. Also back was Michael Wilhoite, who was recently rehired as a defensive assistant 16 months after being fired as Denver’s outside linebackers coach following an incident at the Denver International Airport where he was accused of punching a police officer.
