  • 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.

  • Disruptive in win

    Cooper recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for losses, in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The starting outside linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps. Cooper has 31 tackles (17 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in eight games this season.

  • 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

  • Nabs another sack Sunday

    Cooper totaled four tackles (all solo), including a sack, in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Cooper played on 77 percent of Denver's defensive snaps in the defeat, marking the fourth straight week that he has been over the 70 percent mark. He brought down Bailey Zappe for a 10-yard loss in the first quarter, giving Cooper a sack in back-to-back games. 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).

  • Notches one sack in loss

    Cooper recorded five tackles, including one sack, in Saturday's 42-17 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: With Cooper's one sack in the contest, the veteran now has 6.5 sacks on the season. The 25-year-old linebacker has now recorded 65 tackles (39 solo), two passes defensed, one interception, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and a touchdown over the course of the 2023 campaign.

    Cooper posted eight tackles (three solo), two sacks and one forced fumble in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.

    Analysis: Cooper paced the Broncos in sacks Sunday, showing off his ability to make big plays as a pass rusher.

  • Returning to action

    Cooper (hamstring) is active for Monday night's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Cooper has missed the team's last three contests , but his return should be a boost to the Broncos' linebacker depth, as well as their special-teams unit.

  • Returns to limited practice

    Cooper (hamstring) logged a limited practice Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cooper has missed each of Denver's last three games and this was his first practice in any capacity since suffering the injury. While his status remains unclear, Cooper's activity level ups the chance that he'll return against the Chargers on Monday while contributing primarily on special teams.

  • Remains out

    Cooper (hamstring) will not play Thursday against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

  • Out again

    Cooper (hamstring) will remain sidelined for Sunday's contest against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Cooper was a non-participant at practice all week, so this decision is not surprising. The absence will mark his second straight.

  • Out in Week 3

    Cooper (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Cooper suffered the injury during the week but was unable to practice Friday. He played primarily on special teams in the first two weeks of the season, so his absence isn't likely to affect the Broncos' defensive unit.

  • Avoids PUP list

    Cooper will participate in training camp in a limited fashion as he recovers from finger surgery, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: As expected, the second-year linebacker's finger issue didn't hold him out long. As he continues to fully recover, Cooper will compete with fellow youngsters Malik Reed and Baron Browning for reps behind bona fide stars Bradley Chubb and Randy Gregory.

  • Not practicing yet

    Cooper was present at practice but not participating Tuesday, as he's still recovering from surgery he underwent on his finger last week, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    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.

  • Returns from COVID list

    Cooper was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cooper has had a steady role as a rotational player in the Broncos' linebacker unit this season. Now out of protocols, he should continue that role Saturday against the Chiefs.

  • Lands on COVID list

    Cooper (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cooper tested positive for the virus, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. With Stephen Weatherly (illness), Baron Browning (illness) and Bradley Chubb (illness) all now on the COVID list and Kenny Young (concussion) questionable, the Broncos' linebacker depth will be tested Sunday against the Chargers.

  • 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.

  • Records two sacks in win

    Cooper recorded four tackles (three solo), including two sacks in Sunday's 30-16 win over Dallas.

    Analysis: Cooper made the most of his opportunity Sunday following the trade of Von Miller to the Rams. The rookie linebacker's two sacks were his first of the season, as he demonstrated his ability to make impact plays. The 6-foot-3, 254-pounder will look to build off this solid performance when the Broncos host the Eagles in Week 10.

  • Healthy heading into season

    Cooper (chest) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Cooper underwent a heart procedure in the offseason, but he's evidently back to full health and practiced without limitations Wednesday. The 23-year-old linebacker will likely work in a reserve role for the Broncos in Sunday's season opener against the Giants.
