Jonathon Cooper practiced with the Broncos in the team\u2019s first on-field session of the 2026 season on Wednesday, a little more than a month before he is slated to be arraigned on a felony assault charge and others related to domestic violence allegations.<\/p>\n

Cooper took part in all of the team\u2019s work and head coach Sean Payton expressed support for the outside linebacker, who was arrested twice in a week in June on domestic violence-related charges.<\/p>\n

Payton claimed the Broncos have no say in what happens at this stage of the process, though it is entirely the team\u2019s discretion to keep Cooper on its roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a process relative to the league, relative to the legal process,\u201d Payton said. \u201cAnd then, as that all comes together, we can make the right decision. That\u2019s simply it. There\u2019s no follow-up. There\u2019s no other underlying. It\u2019s today\u2019s protocol. There\u2019s maybe a dozen players in other camps that are going through a similar protocol.<\/p>\n
