Following a Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton reported that cornerback Pat Surtain II and wide receiver Pat Bryant sustained ankle injuries. While initially expected to be short-term, the injuries caused both players to miss subsequent matchups.

By Week 7, Pat Surtain II was listed as questionable for the game against the Arizona Cardinals. Although an MRI showed no serious damage and he participated in all three weekly practices, his status remained uncertain as the team managed his recovery.
