The Broncos could put star cornerback Pat Surtain II and wide receiver Pat Bryant on injured reserve, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Surtain suffered a severe ankle injury in their Week 4 matchup against the 49ers. The All-Pro cornerback avoided a season-ending injury. He exited the contest in the second half with the injury. Whether Surtain goes on the IR or not, he will miss a handful of weeks.
