Denver Broncos EDGE Jonathon Cooper will be undergoing finger surgery to repair a tendon injury sustained to his ring finger (left hand) on Monday’s practice, according to 9News. It’s unknown how long Cooper will be out for, but the team remains optimistic he will be able to return for training camp in July.
The Ohio State product was a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, who ended up vastly out-producing his draft selection. Given the bevy of talent ahead of him on the depth chart, it seems unlikely that he’ll play as many snaps as he did this coming season, keeping him fresher off the bench.
