  "account": "Patrick Surtain II and Pat Bryant sustained ankle sprains during Denver's loss to San Francisco, according to an AP source. The severity of their injuries was less serious than initially reported. Both players could potentially join the team's short-term injured reserve list, but no decisions have been made yet. Surtain, a two-time All-Pro and the 2024 AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year, suffered the injury late in the first half and needed assistance to the locker room. Meanwhile, Bryant, a rising second-year receiver, injured his ankle during a 30-yard catch in the third quarter and was seen leaving the field on a cart. Despite both players' injuries, the Broncos continue to prepare for their upcoming game against the Chargers.",
  "summary": "(AP) — Patrick Surtain II and Pat Bryant's injuries are less serious than first feared when the players each sprained an ankle during Denver's 24-14 loss at San Francisco, a person with knowledge of the medical results told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't addressed the status of either player or the extent of their injuries.",
