Pat Surtain II was removed from the Broncos' game on Sunday twice due to injury, first a leg and second a shoulder. He was replaced by rookie Kris Abrams-Draine, who saw decent playing time last year, filling in for Riley Moss due to injury. He stepped straight into the fire on Sunday, taking over for Surtain in coverage against an elite Dallas receiving group. With Surtain now expected to miss a few weeks, all eyes turn to the Denver secondary, and Abrams-Draine specifically.
Losing the reigning Defensive Player of the Year is an impossible pill to swallow for any defensive unit.
