Pat Surtain II injury update: Out for Sunday's game vs. Chargers (ankle)

Denver will be without both starting cornerbacks Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

By Cole Hartwell

The Broncos have ruled out cornerbacks Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss for Sunday’s matchup with the Chargers, according to Yahoo Sports and NBC Sports.

What happened

Both players were injured during Denver’s loss to the 49ers last weekend. Surtain is dealing with an ankle issue, while Moss has a rib injury. Neither was able to practice at any point this week.

Depth chart

The absences leave Denver thin at cornerback. The team signed defensive back Ugo Amadi to the practice squad, per the reports.

What’s next

The game against the Chargers is on Sunday. Meanwhile, wide receiver Pat Bryant has been placed on injured reserve with an ankle injury after missing all of practice this week. The Broncos filled his roster spot by signing Lil’Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad. Humphrey has appeared in one game this season.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Surtain’s absence is significant for IDP leagues, but the bigger fantasy impact could be on the opposing passing game. With both starting cornerbacks out, Chargers wide receivers get a boost. Denver’s defense should be downgraded in fantasy rankings for the upcoming matchup. On offense, the signing of Humphrey doesn’t move the needle much — he has only one game played this season and isn’t a fantasy option. The loss of Bryant to IR also doesn’t create a clear waiver add. For IDP managers, look for Denver’s safeties and other corners to see more tackle opportunities, but no specific backup cornerback is named in the reports, making it hard to identify a direct beneficiary.

Quick answers

Will Pat Surtain II play Sunday?

No, Surtain has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

What is Pat Surtain II's injury?
