The Denver Broncos came out of their 31-13 comeback win over the Indianapolis Colts with a slew of injury concerns to go through. We’ll start with the good news, since its the only good news and that is the ankle injury suffered by star cornerback Patrick Surtain II is looking relatively minor. If the team had practiced today he would have been a full participant.
However, as the team prepares to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football, there are several other starters whose status is going to be in doubt likely every day leading up to Thursday. John Franklin-Myers, D.J. Jones, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Riley Moss would have all been non-participants today. Frankly, Denver needs all of the defensive players back and with the run game languishing so badly it would be good to get McLaughlin back too. We’ll just have to wait and see who gets healthy in time to play.
Here is your full Broncos-Chargers practice participation report for Monday.
