Pat Surtain II is officially back.
The reigning NFL defensive player of the year is off the injury report and set to play Sunday night at Washington after missing three-plus games with what he described Friday as a partially torn pectoral muscle.
The All-Pro Broncos cornerback participated in Wednesday’s practice on a limited basis, practiced fully the past two days, and will return to the lineup against the Commanders. He told reporters Friday he’ll wear a harness to help protect the muscle. Overall, though, he feels like he’s in a good place health-wise.
When he takes the field, it will be five weeks to the day since the injury occurred against Dallas.
