The NFL lifted the outside linebacker's placement on the commissioner's exempt list, which stemmed from two June arrests tied to domestic incidents with his then-girlfriend.
The NFL has removed Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper from the commissioner's exempt list, clearing him to play in Week 7.
Cooper had been placed on the list after two arrests in June connected to a pair of domestic incidents involving his then-girlfriend. Players on the exempt list are barred from team activities and games while the league reviews a case, even though they remain under contract and continue to receive pay.
With the designation lifted, Cooper is free to rejoin the Broncos and take the field again. No further details on the resolution of the underlying legal matters were included in the league's announcement.
