Jonathon Cooper Removed From Exempt List, Eligible for Broncos’ Next Game

Wichita Falls & Lawton, TX, October 16, 2026 —

Denver Broncos pass rusher Jonathon Cooper has been removed from the commissioner’s exempt list and is eligible to play in the team’s next game. The NFL’s personal conduct review involving Cooper remains ongoing.

The information available does not identify when Cooper was removed from the list or when the league’s review began. It also does not specify the circumstances behind the review, who made the decision to remove him, or when the next game will be played.

Cooper’s eligibility and the status of the review are both noted in the available summary: he is eligible to play, while the league’s review has not concluded. No further details are provided about whether the review is expected to affect his availability again or what steps may follow.

The summary does not provide a statement from Cooper, the Broncos or the NFL. It also does not describe any findings or outcome from the review. As a result, the confirmed information is limited to Cooper’s removal from the exempt list, his eligibility for the Broncos’ next game and the fact that the NFL’s personal conduct review remains ongoing.
