Cooper’s candid approach to facing the undefeated Eagles underscores Denver’s edge-rush focus and the need to sharpen coverage against a versatile offense. His leadership signals a more aggressive, confident defense heading into a pivotal Week 5 clash.

OLB nicknamed 'Coop' who provides rotational depth and added speed on the edge, contributing to Denver's flexible rush approach alongside Bonitto and Allen.

Cooper paired with Bonitto in a disruptive Broncos pass rush, contributing pressure and a sack extension. His presence, along with Bonitto, consistently collapses edges and forces Browning into hurried decisions, aiding Denver’s overall defensive dominance.

Cooper has emerged as a high-effort edge presence, showing up with 10 tackles, 3 TFLs, and 2 sacks through three games. He’s now the co-leader in pass-rush win-rate and faces Cincinnati’s tackles Orlando Brown Jr. and Amarius Mims. Denver will rely on Cooper’s aggression to create bursts of pressure and disrupt Browning’s timing.

Cooper needs 3.5 sacks to tie a historical mark for a seventh-rounder in the first five seasons since 1994, highlighting a remarkable underdog rise and strong pass-rush potential for Denver.
