Picks up half a sack in win
Cooper finished with two tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: The linebacker is up to 7.5 sacks on the year, good for fifth in the league. He has also played about half of the defensive snaps or more in every game but one. Cooper is a major contributor to the league's best pass-rushing defense.

Upgrades to full practice
Cooper (thumb) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.

Limited to begin week
Cooper (thumb) was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Cooper played his typical role in Denver's Week 9 win over the Texans, logging two tackles while playing 40 percent of defensive snaps. It's unclear when the injury occurred, though it doesn't appear to be too serious considering that he was still estimated to be able to practice to begin the week. Cooper's status for Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Raiders should become clearer as the week progresses.

Good to go vs. NYG
Cooper (quadriceps) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Cooper was limited in the first two practices of the week due to a quadriceps injury, but he managed to fade an injury designation for Sunday's game after practicing in full Friday.

Nursing quad injury
Cooper was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury.
Analysis: Cooper likely picked up the injury during the Broncos' Week 6 win over the Jets, when he tallied 2.0 sacks. He would avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Giants if he practices in full over the next two days. The 2021 seventh-rounder is up to 18 tackles (10 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and two pass defenses through the first six games of the regular season.

Cooper tallied five tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, during the Broncos' 13-11 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Cooper was responsible for two of the Broncos' nine sacks on Justin Fields during Sunday's victory in London. Cooper has tallied at least 0.5 sacks in four of the first six games of the regular season, and his 4.5 sacks on the year is tied for eighth most in the NFL and second most on the Broncos behind Nik Bonitto (8.0).

Disruptive in blowout win
Cooper recorded two tackles (one solo) including 0.5 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 28-3 win versus the Bengals.
Analysis: Cooper helped make things very difficult for quarterback Jake Browning in the backup's second start of the season in Week 4, registering in the sack column for the third time in the first four games of the year. He's on pace for a second straight double-digit sack season with a matchup at Philadelphia on tap for Week 5.

Gets to quarterback Sunday
Cooper recorded two tackles (two solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 20-12 win versus the Titans.
Analysis: Denver's defense was able to sack rookie quarterback Cam Ward six times in Week 1, so it's not surprising that Cooper was able to make his mark in that category. The Broncos will play at Indianapolis in Week 2 against a team that should at least try to lean more on the ground game.

One sack in win
Cooper recorded two tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks in Saturday's 28-19 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Cooper played just 12 snaps in the contest and made the most of his playing time by getting to Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler for a sack. The 27-year-old outside linebacker is set to reprise his role as a member of one of the best edge-rush duos in the league alongside teammate Nik Bonitto. Cooper recorded a career-high 10.5 sacks in 2024, and he'll look to continue to be a dominant force in Denver's elite defense this season.

Continues to improve in 2024
Cooper tallied 58 total tackles (33 solo), including 10.5 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: The fourth-year pro was part of one of the league's best edge-rush duos this season, as he and Nik Bonitto combined for a staggering 24 sacks -- the most of any edge-rush tandem in the NFL during the regular season. Cooper has steadily improved his sack totals in each of his last two seasons, jumping from 2.0 sacks in 2022 to 10.5 in 2024. He's become an integral part of the Broncos' defensive success and signed a four-year, $60 million extension with the team in November, keeping him a Bronco…read more

Gets to Burrow twice Saturday
Cooper finished Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati with four tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks.
Analysis: Cooper's most impactful sack came midway through the second quarter, when he sacked Joe Burrow for a three-yard loss to force a turnover on downs. Cooper is now up to a career-best 9.5 sacks through 16 regular-season games, and he'll have an opportunity to reach 10 sacks in the Broncos' regular-season finale against the Chiefs on Sunday.

Logs sack vs. Kansas City
Cooper recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: The 26-year-old was one of four Broncos to record a sack in Sunday's loss, bringing down Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter. Cooper, who just signed a four-year, $60 million extension last Monday, has now totaled 41 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, and forced one fumble through the Broncos' first 10 games this season. Expect the newly paid edge rusher to continue wreaking havoc on opposing quarterbacks as the season progresses.

Inks extension with Denver
Cooper agreed to a four-year, $60 million extension with the Broncos on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A 2021 seventh-round pick from Ohio State, Cooper was set to hit free agency after the season before coming to an agreement with the Broncos on an extension. Cooper has been a disruptive pass rusher over the past two years in Denver, recording 107 total tackles, 14 sacks and two forced fumbles across 26 games. He's now expected to continue serving as the Broncos' top edge rusher and remain an integral part of the team's defense for years to come.

Notches two sacks in loss
Cooper recorded six tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Cooper finished the 2023 campaign with a career-high 8.5 sacks, and it seems he could be headed toward another career year with a strong start in Week 1. In a contract year, the 26-year-old linebacker should remain a key member of Denver's defense and a strong IDP option for fantasy purposes for the 2024 season.

Records 8.5 sacks in 2023
Cooper recorded 72 tackles (44 solo), including 8.5 sacks, two passes defensed, one interception, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 17 games during the 2023 season.
Analysis: Cooper's career-high 8.5 sacks led all Broncos defenders, and he scored Denver's only defensive touchdown on a fumble recovery against the Bears in Week 4. The 26-year-old's 72 total tackles were the third-most of any Denver defender behind fellow linebackers Alex Singleton and Josey Jewell. Cooper remains under contract next season and becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2025, so the veteran will look to build upon his impressive performance in 2023 as a member of Denver's solid defensive…read more

The third-year pro has blossomed in his third NFL campaign, notching a career-high 7.5 sacks along with his first professional interception and first professional touchdown (on a fumble recovery against the Bears in Week 4).

Analysis: There's no concrete timetable for Cooper's return to action at this point, but linebackers don't generally miss consequential time due to finger issues. This will likely resolve itself by training camp, and Cooper should slot right back into Denver's linebacker rotation come Week 1.

Records five tackles in win
Cooper posted five tackles and recovered a fumble in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Cooper's five tackles were his most since Week 10. Following the trade of Von Miller, the rookie linebacker has seen his opportunities increase. Cooper has proven he can make impact plays on defense, like his fumble recovery against the Lions on Sunday. With that said, his inconsistency at this early stage of his career makes him difficult to trust for fantasy. The Broncos get a matchup with the Bengals in Week 15.
