  "summary": "Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain suffered an ankle injury during the team's Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, causing concern among fans. However, head coach Sean Payton has provided a promising update, stating that he does not expect Surtain to be placed on injured reserve. Payton emphasized that such an expectation would be premature, but the news is still positive. Surtain, a two-time first-team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowl cornerback, has been a standout player for the Broncos, recording 21 tackles and one pass defensed this season. With the Broncos planning to have him back on the field within the next three weeks, fans can hope for his return sooner rather than later.",
