"You're never as good as you could be without your best player, but that being said, I'm confident in our group, it's a hand-picked roster. Here's a chance for a young guy to play and kind of make a name for himself. We've got a game to win. I expect us to play well and I expect our young guys who are playing in place of Pat, I expect them to play well; that's why they're here."
"Surtain, who has missed just two previous games in his career -- one as a rookie in 2021 and Week 7 last season -- is expected to miss multiple games because of a pectoral injury he suffered just before halftime last Sunday. The Broncos, who have not put Surtain on injured reserve, are preparing for their first game without him this season, taking on the Houston Texans on Sunday at NRG Stadium."
Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II sustained a pectoral injury just before halftime and is expected to miss multiple games. The team has not placed Surtain on injured reserve and is preparing to play the Houston Texans without him. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph expressed confidence in the roster and emphasized opportunities for young players to step up. Kris Abrams-Draine filled Surtain's role for the second half against the Cowboys. Rookie Jahdae Barron and fourth-year cornerback Ja'Quan McMill were identified as additional options to help cover Surtain's absence.
