Overview
- Surtain injured his left shoulder late in the first half, did not come out after halftime, and was officially ruled out in the third quarter.
- He had earlier left with a right lower‑leg issue in the first quarter, was listed as questionable, then returned to play before the shoulder setback.
- Kris Abrams-Draine replaced Surtain in Denver’s base defense as coaches shifted outside snaps to backups and leaned more on safety help and mixed coverages.
- The All‑Pro logged five tackles, including four solo stops, before leaving the game.
- The team has not released a timetable or prognosis as the Broncos finish Week 8 without their top cornerback.
