News

  • Ready for Week 13

    Surtain (pectoral) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Analysis: Surtain capped off the week with full practices Thursday and Friday and is ready to go for Sunday night's primetime matchup with the Commanders. The outside cornerback missed just one defensive snap in eight weeks of play before his early exit versus the Cowboys in Week 8. The return of the star will bolster an already strong Broncos defense as they attempt to secure a high seed in the AFC.

  • Upgrades to full practice Thursday

    Surtain (pectoral) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Surtain has missed the Broncos' last three games due to a pectoral injury. Coming off a bye, the cornerback was able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, and an upgrade to full participation Thursday bodes well for the reigning Defensive Player of the Year's chances to play in Sunday night's game against the Commanders.

  • Limited to open week

    Surtain (pectoral) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Surtain was able to return to the practice field following the team's Week 12 bye, albeit in limited fashion. The cornerback has missed the last three contests while nursing a pectoral injury, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice ahead of Sunday night's game versus Washington.

  • Won't play vs. Chiefs

    Surtain (pectoral) is officially listed as out for Sunday's game versus Kansas City.

    Analysis: Surtain will miss a third straight contest with a pectoral strain he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys. Without him, Denver will probably have to lean more heavily on 2024 fifth-rounder Kris Abrams-Draine for corner reps on the boundary in Week 11.

  • Still missing practice with pec

    Surtain (pectoral) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Surtain has been sidelined for Denver's last two games because of a pectoral strain he suffered in Week 8 versus the Cowboys, and now his status for Week 11 is in doubt. To give himself a realistic chance to play Sunday versus the Chiefs, he'll probably need to return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday.

  • Ruled out ahead of Week 10

  • Doesn't practice Tuesday

    Surtain (pectoral) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

    Analysis: Surtain worked on the side of the field during Tuesday's session as he continues to rehab from a pectoral injury that he sustained in Week 8. The All-Pro corner isn't expected to go on injured reserve, but he'll likely be sidelined for the Broncos' next two games and aim to return after the Week 12 bye. With Surtain sidelined, Ja'Quan McMillian, Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine all saw increased snaps on defense during the Broncos' Week 9 win over the Texans.

  • Won't play Week 9 as expected

    Surtain (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: The All-Pro corner sustained a pectoral injury during the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Cowboys, which carries a four-to-six week recovery timeline. Luca Evans of The Denver Post reported Wednesday that the Broncos aren't planning to place Surtain on injured reserve at this time in the hopes that he'll be available to return following the Week 12 bye. Ja'Quan McMillian appears to be the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Riley Moss in Surtain's absence, which gives Kris…read more

  • Likely avoids IR

    As of now, the Broncos are not planning on placing Surtain (pectoral) on the injured reserve list, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Surtain is expected to miss four to six weeks after sustaining a pectoral injury during the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Cowboys. However, it doesn't appear as if Denver will place the star corner on IR, suggesting he could return sooner rather than later. While he's likely sidelined over the next couple of weeks, 2025 first-round pick Jahdae Barron is expected to have an increased defensive role as one of the team's top cornerbacks.

  • Could be headed for IR stint

    Surtain could land on injured reserve after he suffered a pectoral strain in the team's 44-24 win over the Cowboys on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Surtain sustained the injury in the first half of the contest, ultimately not returning to action following the break. The cornerback will not need to undergo surgery, but he's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks while recovering from the injury, per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz. Surtain is set to get a second opinion on the injury in the near future, but at minimum, he can be considered week-to-week for the time being.

  • Won't return vs. Dallas

    Surtain (shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Surtain remained in the locker room after halftime to have his shoulder evaluated by medical staff, and the injury has been deemed severe enough for him to be held out for the rest of Sunday's game. Ja'Quan McMillian has shifted over to outside corner, which opens the door for Kris Abrams-Draine and Jahdae Barron to see snaps at the slot corner position due to Surtain's injury.

    Analysis: Surtain temporarily left the contest in the first quarter after being tended to for a lower-leg issue, but he was able to return to the field on Denver's next defensive series. That's obviously a big sigh of relief for the Broncos given Surtain's status as the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

    Surtain recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) and one pass breakup in the Broncos' loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: After he failed to record a tackle in the Broncos' Week 1 win over the Titans, Surtain's 11 tackles against Indianapolis paced the team.

    Analysis: Surtain picked up the injury in the second quarter, but he was spotted running up and down the Broncos' sideline and could return before the end of the half, per Gabriel.

  • Plays 12 snaps with starters

    Surtain played 12 snaps and did not record any counting stats in Saturday's 30-9 preseason win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Like most starters, Surtain did not play much in the preseason opener, as the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year is a key part of the success of Denver's formidable defense. The 25-year-old cornerback has cemented himself as on of the league's top defensive backs, recording a career-high four interceptions last season and consistently flashing elite coverage skills. Surtain will continue to be a centerpiece of what should be one of the top defensive units in the league once again. The Broncos…read more

    Surtain was named the 2024 NFL Defensive Player of the Year on Thursday, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Surtain became the first cornerback to win DPOY since Stephon Gilmore in 2019, while the former was just the second Bronco all-time to win the award after linebacker Randy Gradishar did so in 1978.

    Analysis: Surtain's 45 tackles were the lowest of his four-year NFL career, but he managed to tie a career-high with four interceptions, including a 100-yard pick-six against the Raiders in Week 5. Surtain signed a record-breaking four-year, $96 million extension in early September, which made him the highest-paid cornerback in the league.

    Analysis: Surtain was injured late in Sunday's win over the Colts after he intercepted Anthony Richardson and took a hit to the side of the leg. His full participation estimation would suggest he avoided any sort of serious injury, and Surtain should be good to go for Thursday night's divisional clash with the Chargers.

    Analysis: The cornerback suffered a concussion during Denver's Week 6 loss to the Chargers and missed the team's Week 7 win over the Saints, but he cleared the concussion protocol in time for this game.

    Analysis: Surtain suffered a concussion in Week 6, which caused him to miss the Broncos' Week 7 win against the Saints. His ability to fully participate in practice Wednesday is an encouraging sign, but he'll need to clear the final steps of the league's concussion protocols in order to play against the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Surtain had another individually successful campaign in 2023, recording a career-high 69 tackles, albeit while notching a career-low one interception. The Alabama product remains one of the better corners in the league, so having his option picked up, and keeping him in Denver for at least two more seasons, makes sense.

Surtain has proven to be one of the league's best defensive backs, and he'll enter the final year of his rookie contract next season in Denver before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2025. The 23-year-old will look ahead to 2024 in the hopes to continue the impressive start to his young career as a difference-maker in Denver.

    Surtain recorded five tackles (four solo), one interception and one pass defended in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Surtain's interception Sunday was his first of the 2023 campaign, and his five total tackles in the contest matched his season-high through five games. The 23-year-old cornerback has proven to be an excellent corner in the league with the ability to make big plays on defense.

    Analysis: Surtain completed a strong second season in the Broncos' formidable secondary, leading the team in passes defended. The 22-year-old continues to prove why he was worth the ninth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Surtain is still on his four-year rookie deal, so he remains under contract with the Broncos through the 2024 season.

    Analysis: As suspected, Surtain wasn't dealing with anything serious when he missed practice last week. The 22-year-old soon will step back in as Denver's top option at corner, as he already is one of the top options in the entire league. That won't necessarily translate to much fantasy value, though, as opposing quarterbacks may opt to avoid his side of the field.

  • Misses practice

    Surtain (calf) was sidelined during Monday's practice, but it appears his absence is not related to anything serious, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Surtain worked off to the side at practice, though the team seems to just be exercising extra caution during OTAs. The 22-year-old cornerback is set to enter his sophomore season after an impressive rookie campaign, in which he finished with 58 total tackles, 14 passes defended and four interceptions. Surtain figures to be a key member of the Broncos defense in 2022, a unit which has the chance to take a step forward with multiple offseason upgrades.

  • Impresses in rookie season

    Surtain (calf) finished the 2021 season with 58 tackles (45 solo), 14 passes defended and four interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

    Analysis: Surtain put together a strong rookie campaign in 2021, finishing with the most passes defended and second most interceptions on the Broncos. The rookie cornerback played in all but one game this season, and with his performance proved to be worth the ninth overall pick in last year's draft. As Surtain continues to develop, the Alabama product will likely be a force for years to come in Denver.

  • Ruled out for season finale

    Surtain (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Surtain was held out of practice Wednesday, and he'll be unable to take the field in Saturday's regular-season finale.

  • Misses another practice

    Surtain (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Surtain has missed back-to-back practices, and coach Vic Fangio called him "highly questionable" to play Saturday against the Chiefs. With the Broncos out of the playoff picture, it would seem likely that Denver would be overly cautious with their star rookie. If that is indeed the case, the 2021 No. 9 overall pick would end his first pro campaign with 58 tackles, 14 pass deflections and four interceptions -- including one returned for a touchdown.

  • Notches another interception

    Surtain recorded one assisted tackle and one interception in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Surtain's interception against the Chiefs was his third pick in the last two games and his fourth interception of the season. Surtain has looked impressive in his rookie year and is making impact plays for Denver's defense. The 21-year-old will have a great opportunity to build upon his solid season when the Broncos host the Lions in Week 14.

  • Pick-six in win

    Surtain tallied five total tackles (four solo) along with two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Surtain picked off Justin Herbert on consecutive fourth-quarter drives, which cemented a huge divisional win over Los Angeles. The highly touted rookie returned his second interception 70 yards for a touchdown. The young corner's great play has also been shown through his 11 pass deflections thus far, including seven in his last five games. Surtain and the Broncos get a much tougher matchup against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs next Sunday night.

  • Considered questionable

    The Broncos have listed Surtain (knee) as questionable ahead of Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Surtain logged a limited practice session Friday after beeing a non-participant for two consecutive days prior, so he at least seems to be trending in the right direction. Some combination of Nate Hairston and Kyle Fuller would likely be in line to replace his cornerback snaps if he ultimately gets ruled out.

Although the 21-year-old's injury isn't believed to be significant, he'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday if he hopes to play in Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Surtain's MRI on Monday revealed a sprained knee, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Surtain missed most of Tuesday's practice and all of Wednesday while dealing with lower leg soreness. The cornerback's return to Thursday's session is a step in the right direction for him to play in Week 2 of the preseason.

    Surtain (lower leg) missed practice again Wednesday, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

Surtain has had himself a great training camp, and he met high expectations during the Broncos' preseason opener with a pick-six in his first NFL action. Assuming Denver's first-round selection has no setbacks, the cornerback may be available for the team's next preseason contest against Seattle on Aug. 21.
