Damarri Mathis Fantasy Stats

Denver Broncos defensive back Damarri Mathis (ankle) was removed early during Sunday's preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals. Mathis had to be carted off the field after suffering what looked to be a bad ankle injury during Sunday's game. The assumption is that the Broncos will have Mathis undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. At the moment, it's uncertain if Mathis will be ready to play in the regular season opener. That being said, Riley Moss would likely be the next man up to start alongside Patrick Surtain, assuming Mathis misses time. The absence of Mathis would certainly be a hit to the Broncos secondary.

Denver Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis (head) did not return to Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after suffering a concussion. The rookie ranks second on the team with seven passes defensed while amassing 61 total tackles. He'll need to clear concussion protocol before he's eligible to suit up in Week 18 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. However, with the Broncos already eliminated from playoff contention, the team can be cautious with the No. 115 overall draft selection.
