Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Denver is optimistic CB Patrick Surtain II and LB Alex Singleton can be available after the Week 12 bye for the Nov. 30 game at Washington.
- Singleton underwent surgery on Nov. 7 to remove a cancerous testicular tumor and has received encouraging results, with sources saying he is trending toward a return but not yet a lock.
- Surtain has missed three games since a Week 8 pectoral strain, and the Broncos kept him off injured reserve with a post-bye target in mind.
- Denver sits at 9-2 after beating Kansas City, and potential defensive reinforcements would support the team’s push through the season’s final month.
- Tight end Nate Adkins (knee) and outside linebacker Jonah Elliss (hamstring) are also candidates to come back after the bye, with the Washington matchup set for Sunday Night Football.
