US EditionHow an Injury Hiatus Turned the Broncos' Pat Surtain II Into a Football Fan
Pat Surtain II will play with a protective harness after missing 3+ games due to a partially torn pectoral; Broncos went 3-0 during his absence, coach Sean Payton said.
- Pat Surtain II is off the injury report and set to play Sunday night as the Denver Broncos visit the Washington Commanders; he said, `It feels great, honestly`.
- Because Surtain described the injury as a partially torn pectoral, his recovery required careful rehab, and he avoided injured reserve thanks to Denver's bye week after missing three-plus games.
- Surtain was injured in Week 8 during Denver's 44-24 win over Dallas, and it's been five weeks to the day; the Broncos went 3-0 while others absorbed his snaps.
