Pat Surtain II

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Patrick Surtain is “dealing with a minor ankle sprain” after Week 15’s win over the Colts.

Surtain exited Sunday’s game against the Colts after picking off Anthony Richardson in the fourth quarter. The optics weren’t great, but it sounds like Surtain avoided the worst based on the early diagnosis. The Broncos have a quick turnaround in Week 16 as they prepare for the Chargers on Thursday night. With just a few days to prepare for that game, it’s possible Surtain misses next week and sets his sights on a Week 17 return against the Bengals.
