The Broncos, now winners of five in a row, are going to be without Patrick Surtain II for what could be a month or more. He suffered a pectoral injury in the team's win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8. And while Denver's secondary held up without Surtain on the field, it wasn't nearly as good, as you can imagine.
The cornerback room going forward is going to feature a heavy dose of Riley Moss, Ja'Quan McMillian, Kris Abrams-Draine, and Jahdae Barron. Now in hindsight, it's a great thing that the Broncos drafted Barron, as he could really see his playing time skyrocket, and he was one of the few first-round caliber defensive players in the 2025 NFL Draft.
