Riley Moss's Rib Injury Reported Not Serious

The Broncos held Moss out of their closed practice to monitor a minor rib injury that could affect short-term depth at outside corner.

Overview

  • Moss left the preseason game against the Packers after he recovered a loose ball, was landed on, was seen holding his ribs and went to the sideline blue medical tent before heading to the locker room.
  • Officials later overturned the fumble call on the play and Moss did not return to that game.
  • Coach Sean Payton told reporters the player was “doing good” after the game and the team moved quickly to evaluate the injury, likely including imaging.
  • Local beat reporting from Mike Klis of 9NEWS says the rib injury is not considered serious and that Moss is not expected to practice at the team’s closed session.
  • The Broncos are managing Moss’s recovery cautiously because he is an every-down outside corner and missing practice could affect near-term depth and roster decisions as the team approaches the regular season.
