Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper pleads not guilty to domestic violence charges, according to multiple reports. A jury trial is scheduled to begin on Nov. 10, with the case set to be heard during Denver’s bye week.
The outlets describe the charges as stemming from an alleged domestic violence incident involving Cooper’s then-girlfriend. Yahoo Sports adds that Cooper was placed on the NFL commissioner’s exempt list one day before his plea. It also reports that Cooper has been arrested twice related to the incident, though the details of the allegations are not reiterated in the available summaries.
Across the coverage, the main points that align are the not-guilty plea, the presence of domestic violence charges, and the trial date. Differences are mainly in timing and procedural context, including references to the commissioner’s exempt list and the reported arrest history, rather than the underlying allegations themselves.
