After tweaking his left rotator cuff while battling a blocker in the second quarter of the Broncos’ win over the Texans, Pat Surtain II is eager to get back for Denver’s primetime test against San Francisco.
Surtain, one of five Broncos starters who did not practice Wednesday, is Denver’s top cover cornerback. If he does play Sunday night at Empower Field, Surtain would encounter a talented 49ers receiving corps headlined by All-Pro Deebo Samuel and veteran Brandon Aiyuk.
“It depends on how I progress with treatment,” Surtain said. “I think it’s a high percent chance that I play… It was nothing serious, it was a minor injury, and of course I didn’t want to get back in and make it worse (against Houston).
