"Patrick Surtain is expected to miss time with a pectoral injury sustained in the second quarter Sunday, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports. A four- to six-week timetable is being floated here, via Schultz, though the reigning Defensive Player of the Year is ticketed for a second opinion. Either way, it appears the Broncos' defense will be dealt a significant blow."
"An IR stay would shelve Surtain for the first of the Kansas City matchups, along with games against the Raiders and Commanders. The Broncos have used three injury activations this season; they would certainly save one for Surtain should IR be necessary. The team could go week to week here as well, keeping the door open for the impact defender to return without missing four games."
Patrick Surtain sustained a pectoral strain in the second quarter and is expected to miss time, with a four- to six-week timetable being floated and a second opinion planned. Surgery is not expected, but IR remains possible and Surtain is considered an IR candidate. Potential absences could include upcoming games versus the Texans, Chiefs, Raiders and Commanders. Denver has used three injury activations this season and could save one for Surtain or manage him week-to-week. Surtain, 25, is a top-tier cornerback and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, and his loss would weaken the Broncos' defense.
