Jonathon Cooper spared suspension as Broncos prepare for preseason opener

The Denver Broncos report that outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper has not been suspended amid recent NFL disciplinary actions. As the Broncos gear up for their preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons, Cooper's status remains uncertain given his significant four-year, $63 million contract. The NFL recently issued an eight-game suspension to Falcons linebacker James Pearce, which may provide insight into Cooper's situation. With the NFL announcing several suspensions on August 14, Cooper's absence from this list may reflect the early stages of the process, leaving room for future developments. He was present for warm-ups ahead of the Falcons game, indicating that he will participate in practice leading into the opener.
