Sean Payton doesn’t expect 3 key Broncos to land on injured reserve

The Denver Broncos recently suffered the loss of three crucial players due to injuries sustained in their previous game against the San Francisco 49ers. Cornerbacks Pat Surtain and Riley Moss, along with wide receiver Pat Bryant, are expected to miss time, though not necessarily the entirety of the season. Surtain and Bryant were particularly affected, with Surtain requiring assistance from trainers to leave the field and Bryant being carted off during the second half.

Denver's head coach, Sean Payton, was asked about the possibility of Surtain or Bryant being placed on injured reserve after Wednesday's practice. Payton firmly stated that he does not expect either player to be considered for injured reserve, emphasizing that such a decision would only be made if their injuries required a minimum of four games out of action.

As the Broncos await the return of Bryant, Surtain, and Moss, they shift their focus to upcoming AFC West opponents, aiming to secure a win and continue their season despite a challenging six-game stretch earlier in the season.
