Broncos' Patrick Surtain II Suffers Mild Ankle Sprain in Win Over Colts

The All-Pro cornerback's status for Thursday's game against the Chargers remains uncertain after sustaining the injury late in Sunday's victory.

Patrick Surtain II, Denver Broncos' All-Pro cornerback, sustained a mild ankle sprain during a fourth-quarter interception return in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Surtain briefly returned to the game after the injury but was later sidelined following another play and did not finish the game.
Head coach Sean Payton emphasized that decisions on Surtain's participation are based on medical clearance, adding that his status for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers is a game-time decision.
The Broncos are already dealing with cornerback depth issues, as starting CB Riley Moss has missed two consecutive games due to a knee injury.
Surtain, a two-time Pro Bowler and 2022 All-Pro, remains a key defensive asset with 11 passes defensed and four interceptions this season, including a league-leading 132 return yards.
