Pat Surtain II Avoids Major Injury After Ankle Strain

Denver Broncos All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II exited Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a non-contact right ankle injury. Surtain needed assistance off the field, but subsequent reports indicate his Achilles is intact and he avoided a long-term or season-ending injury. He remains likely to miss upcoming games, thrusting Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine into larger roles.
