Cooper finished Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to Cincinnati with four tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks. 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.
Cooper recorded six total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Chiefs. 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 to a four-year, $60 million extension Nov. 4, 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.
The Broncos signed Cooper to a four-year, $60 million extension over the weekend, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. A 2021 seventh-round pick from Ohio State, Cooper was set to hit free agency after the season before inking an extension with the Broncos over the weekend. Cooper has been a disruptive pass rusher over the past two years in Denver, recording 107 total tackles, including 14.0 sacks, and forcing two fumbles across 26 regular-season appearances. 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.
Cooper recorded five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for losses, in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers. 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.
Cooper recorded six tackles (two solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks. 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.
