Overview
- Patrick Surtain II suffered a non-contact ankle injury late in the second quarter of Sunday's loss to the 49ers and did not return to the game.
- MRIs on Monday showed Surtain did not tear his Achilles, but NFL insiders call his lower-leg issue a “weird” ankle injury and expect him to miss multiple weeks.
- Wide receiver Pat Bryant was diagnosed with a sprained ankle and is expected to miss a few weeks, according to ESPN and reporting from Adam Schefter.
- Riley Moss left with a rib injury that preliminary testing suggests is not a fracture, with further evaluation pending and an official update planned after Wednesday practice.
- With both starting cornerbacks and Bryant sidelined short term, Denver will lean on backups such as Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine and may make short-term roster moves ahead of Week 5.
