Logs career high in defensed passes
Moss posted 80 tackles (57 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 19 passes defensed (including one interception) over 17 games in 2025.
Analysis: Moss finished a solid third season with the Broncos, leading the team in passes defensed and recording the first sack of his young career. The 25-year-old cornerback's 80 tackles counted for the third-highest total among Broncos defenders behind only linebacker Alex Singleton (135) and safety Talanoa Hufanga (106). Playing opposite of arguably the best corner in the game in Patrick Surtain, Moss did a solid job helping to make Denver's secondary one of the strongest units in the league this…read more

Tallies five tackles in Week 10 win
Moss registered five tackles (four solo) during the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday.
Analysis: Moss was working through a minor ankle injury leading up to Thursday's game, but that didn't appear to bother him as he played all 60 defensive snaps. The third-year corner has recorded at least five stops in five of his last six games and is up to 48 tackles (35 solo) and 10 pass defenses through 10 regular-season games.

Limited Tuesday
Moss (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Moss was estimated as a non-participant in Monday's practice, so Tuesday's limited participation was progress. His status for Thursday's game against the Raiders remains unclear.

Stout in coverage vs. Bengals
Moss recorded two tackles (two solo) during Monday's 28-3 win versus Cincinnati.
Analysis: Moss' mark in the box score wasn't awe-inspiring in Week 4, but he was a big part of the reason why Denver held Bengals wideouts to just 64 combined receiving yards. He's been solid in coverage generally to start the season, and he's also normally an opportunistic tackler for a cornerback. Moss could easily post a better tackle total come Week 5 at Philadelphia.

Logs seven tackles in win
Moss recorded seven tackles (five solo) in the Broncos' win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Moss started at outside cornerback opposite Patrick Surtain and played all 57 defensive snaps versus Tennessee. In addition to the seven tackles, Moss also recorded a pair of pass breakups. Next up for Moss and Denver's defense is a date with Daniel Jones, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell and Josh Downs of the Colts.

Significant improvement in 2024
Moss recorded 86 total tackles (65 solo), eight passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games in 2024.
Analysis: Moss served as one of Denver's starting outside cornerbacks in 2024, finishing as the team's third-leading tackler while starting all 15 games in which he appeared. However, Moss struggled in coverage at times this season, allowing 747 receiving yards (11.1 yards per completion) and a 95.4 passer rating when targeted. The Iowa product likely showed enough flashes to continue serving as the Broncos' No. 2 outside cornerback, as he remains under contract through the 2026 season and is expected to…read more

Struggles to contain Higgins
Moss finished Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals with 14 tackles (11 solo).
Analysis: Moss returned Saturday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He finished as the Broncos' leading tackler, but with Patrick Surtain matched up against Ja'Marr Chase for most of the night, Moss struggled in his coverage assignment against Tee Higgins. Two of Higgins' three touchdown catches came when Moss was covering him, including the game-winning three-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow late in overtime. Moss and the Broncos will head back home to host the Chiefs in Week 18 in a…read more

Full participant in practice
Moss (knee) was a full participant in Denver's practice Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Moss managed to return to practice after missing the team's past three games with a knee injury. The 24-year-old is trending toward playing in Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals, where he will look to help slow down Cincinnati's high powered offense.

Won't play in Week 16
Moss (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Moss appeared to be trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday night's divisional matchup, upgrading to limited practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday after opening the week as an estimated non-participant. However, it now seems his knee injury was too significant to overcome, preventing him from suiting up in Week 16. Expect Levi Wallace and Damarri Mathis to see increased work with Denver's first-team secondary in Moss' stead.

Making progress through knee injury
Moss (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Tuesday's session was a walkthrough, but it's the first time Moss has not been listed as a DNP since suffering an MCL injury against the Raiders in Week 12. Moss could return from a two-game absence and play against the Chargers on Thursday if he can practice in at least a limited capacity during Wednesday's session.

Estimated as DNP on Monday
Moss (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Moss has missed the Broncos' last two games, and now Denver has a short week ahead of Thursday night's game versus the Chargers. Kris Abrams-Draine got the start opposite Patrick Surtain against Indianapolis with Moss sidelined and would likely be in line for another start should Moss need to miss a third straight contest.

Will miss Week 15 vs. Indy
Moss (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Moss will miss a second straight game after sitting out all three practices this week. The second-year cornerback suffered an MCL injury against the Raiders in Week 12, and with Denver having a quick turnaround ahead of a Thursday night game against the Chargers in Week 16, Moss's status for that contest is probably shaky, at best. Levi Wallace is likely in line for another start Sunday in Moss's absence.

Non-participant in practice Wednesday
Moss (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Though Stevens notes that Moss "participated in stretching" during Wednesday's session, he didn't practice otherwise. The second-year cornerback hurt his MCL in Week 12 against Las Vegas and hasn't practiced since. The Broncos were on bye last week, but that may not have provided Moss the time to recover from the injury enough to be ready to return to game action. If he's out again Sunday versus Indianapolis, Levi Wallace could pick up another start.

Won't play Monday vs. Cleveland
Moss (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: Moss was a DNP in practice all week due to a sprained MCL he suffered in the Broncos' Week 12 win over the Raiders. Moss will look to take advantage of Denver's Week 14 bye and recover in time for Week 15 against Indianapolis on Sunday, Dec. 15. Levi Wallace is slated to operate as the Broncos' second starting corner Monday opposite Patrick Surtain due to Moss's injury.

Misses practice again Friday
Moss (knee) didn't practice Friday.
Analysis: Moss was estimated as a DNP on Thursday, and he didn't take the field Friday. Head coach Sean Payton said after Moss suffered the injury Sunday that the cornerback may have avoided a serious issue, but his ability to play on Monday Night Football this week appears to be in jeopardy. Moss likely will need to practice in some capacity Saturday in order to be able to suit up against Cleveland.

Estimated as DNP
Moss (knee) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Moss suffered an MCL injury in the second quarter of the Broncos' 29-19 win over the Raiders this past Sunday. Denver held a walkthrough Thursday, so Moss will have two chances this week to return to practice and give himself a chance at playing against the Browns on Monday. In the 11 regular-season games prior to his MCL injury, Moss accrued 67 tackles (49 solo), seven pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Injures MCL in Week 12
Speaking with the media after the team's win over the Raiders on Sunday, coach Sean Payton said Moss (knee) suffered an MCL injury versus Las Vegas, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Moss was injured in the second quarter Sunday and was unable to return for the second half. Levi Wallace filled in opposite Patrick Surtain at cornerback for Denver. Payton believes Moss did avoid a serious injury. Moss will have eight days to try and get ready for next Monday night's Week 13 date with the Browns.

Won't return Sunday
Moss has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a knee injury, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Moss injured his knee late in the second quarter, and he will not return for the second half of Sunday's contest. Levi Wallace will remain as the Broncos' second outside corner across Patrick Surtain for the rest of the game.

Leaves game due to knee injury
Moss (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Moss suffered a knee injury late in the second quarter while tackling Brock Bowers. Moss had to be helped off the field, and he was taken into the locker room after being checked on by trainers in the blue medical tent. Levi Wallace will serve as the Broncos' No. 2 outside cornerback across Patrick Surtain while Moss is sidelined.

Registers six stops in Week 10
Moss finished Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with six tackles (four solo).
Analysis: Moss tied for fourth on Denver in stops in the defeat. The cornerback has been very consistent this season, tallying at least five tackles in all but two of his 10 contests. Moss played mostly on special teams as a rookie last year, but he's taken on a starting role this season and has posted 61 tackles (43 solo), an interception and a forced fumble.

Practices in full Tuesday
Moss (hip) was listed as a full participant on the Broncos' injury report for Tuesday's walkthrough.
Analysis: Moss was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, but he didn't have any restrictions during Tuesday's walkthrough. Barring any setbacks, the 2023 third-round pick should be good to go against the Saints on Thursday. Moss logged six tackles (five solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

Dealing with hip issue
Moss (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Analysis: The Iowa product totaled 84 snaps (74 defensive and 10 on special teams) and recorded six total tackles and one pass defended in the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers, but it appears he picked up a hip injury in the process. Moss' practice participation Tuesday and Wednesday will be the best indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Broncos travel to New Orleans for a Thursday night matchup.

Picks off pass in Week 5 win
Moss recorded four tackles (three solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, in the Broncos' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Moss' third-quarter interception of Gardner Minshew was the first of Moss' career, and it effectively ended Minshew's day, as he was benched on the following possession in favor of Aidan O'Connell. After playing just 23 defensive snaps as a 2023 rookie, Moss has logged 97 percent of the playing time on defense through five games and has recorded 33 tackles (24 solo), four pass breakups, including the one INT, and one fumble recovery.

Leads Denver in tackles
Moss recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: After tallying just six tackles and playing just 23 defensive snaps across 14 games in his rookie season, Moss was a key contributor for Denver's defense Sunday. The second-year cornerback played opposite of Patrick Surtain, a role that could keep Moss busy throughout the season as quarterbacks may do their best to avoid throwing to Surtain's side of the field. With that said, Moss could be a solid IDP option going forward after his standout performance in Week 1.

Past back issue
Moss (back) was spotted participating in Denver's mandatory minicamp session Wednesday, Keith Cummings of SI.com reports.
Analysis: The second-year cornerback was held out of practices earlier in the offseason with a back injury, but he now seems to have moved past the issue. Moss saw minimal work on defense during his rookie campaign, tallying six total tackles while playing just 23 defensive snaps through 14 games. He's expected to compete for another depth role in Denver's secondary now that he's regained health.

Dealing with back injury
Moss was unavailable for practice Thursday due to a back injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Moss apparently "tweaked" something in his back at practice earlier in the week, according to head coach Sean Payton, but the cornerback is expected to be back in action at some point during next week's OTAs. Entering his second season in the NFL, Moss will compete with the likes of Damarri Mathis and Ja'Quan McMillian for reps behind primary cornerbacks Patrick Surtain and Levi Wallace in 2024.

Ready to debut
Moss (abdomen) was a full participant at practice Thursday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Commanders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: After being forced to sit out of Week 1 action with a sports hernia, Moss will be available for Week 2 should Denver call his number. Moss is long, fast and twitchy, but it remains to be seen what kind of impact he'll be able to make out of the gate.

Questionable versus Raiders
The Broncos listed Moss (sports hernia) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: This designation should not come as a surprise as Moss has only been a limited participant in practice all week as he deals with a sports hernia. If healthy, the rookie third-round pick could find himself playing a rotational role as Denver is currently thin at the position aside from Patrick Surtain.

Moss (sports hernia) practiced Monday, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

Undergoes repair procedure
Head coach Sean Payton told reporters Wednesday that Moss (sports hernia) underwent a core muscle repair surgery Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: The 2023 third-round pick will miss almost all of camp and each of Denver's preseason games ahead of his rookie year. Payton also told reporters that this surgery typically requires a four-week recovery time. It will be harder for Moss to crack the field as a rookie after missing this time during the preseason, but he could get a look as a rotational cornerback and contribute on special teams nonetheless.
