"Reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II left the Broncos' 44-24 win over the Cowboys on Sunday just before halftime because of a left shoulder injury. The two-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection will undergo tests, including an MRI, to determine the severity of the injury. Any potential absence will be a massive loss for Denver; defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has gone as far as to say, "Everything we do starts with Pat.'"
"With 22 seconds left in the first half, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott completed a 7-yard pass to receiver George Pickens. On the tackle, Surtain's left arm and shoulder twisted awkwardly as he tried to pull Pickens to the ground. As he walked to the locker room at halftime, Surtain could be seen grimacing as he held his left shoulder with his right hand and he didn't come out of the locker room at the start of the third quarter."
Pat Surtain II exited the Broncos' 44-24 victory over the Cowboys just before halftime with a left shoulder injury and will undergo tests, including an MRI, to assess severity. The two-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection had earlier left briefly with a lower right leg issue. Kris Abrams-Draine replaced Surtain and recorded eight tackles in the second half. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph emphasized Surtain's central role in the defense. Coach Sean Payton called the secondary's performance after the exit "pretty good." A potential Surtain absence would be a major blow to Denver's defense.
