Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II has been in trade rumors over the last calendar year, but the 24-year-old said he wants to stay with the organization long-term. The team picked up his fifth-year option a few months ago, which was a no-brainer decision after he made two Pro Bowls and one All-Pro team in his first three NFL campaigns. Through the 24-year-old's first 50 contests, he has compiled 187 tackles, one forced fumble, seven interceptions, and 36 pass deflections. Denver has one of the weakest rosters in the league and is in the middle of the rebuild, so while it wouldn't be shocking if Surtain was on the trade block, it sounds like that is not the case.
Broncos Pick Up Fifth-Year Option On Patrick Surtain II
The Denver Broncos have picked up the fifth-year option on Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Surtain II, meaning he will remain under contract through the 2025 NFL season. Since being selected by Denver with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Alabama, Surtain has earned two trips to the Pro Bowl and one first-team All-Pro honor. In 50 career games, he has racked up 187 tackles (150 solo), one forced fumble, seven interceptions, and 36 pass deflections. The Broncos are in an interesting time for the organization with Sean Payton at the helm, and the roster needs major reinforcements. However, they have their true No. 1 cornerback locked in for at least the next two seasons.
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (knee) suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Houston Texans and is questionable to return. Surtain went to the medical tent after hurting his knee and was testing out his agility on the sidelines before heading to the locker room. The team should provide another update on the star corner shortly but if he remains out for the rest of the game then the arrow will continue to point up for Houston pass-catchers.
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (shoulder), listed as questionable, is expected to be active for Sunday Night Football versus the San Francisco 49ers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He has racked up six tackles though two games this season, though it's worth noting he only played 25 percent of snaps last week. Surtain being active gives a boost to the Denver secondary as they face off against Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers' flashy weapons in the passing game.
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II avoided serious injury to his shoulder in the game against the Houston Texans. Surtain left the contest in the first half and was quickly ruled out, but is now being called "day-to-day." This is fantastic news for the Broncos' secondary that has limited wide receivers through two weeks. The Broncos match up with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and possibly George Kittle (groin) on Sunday Night Football in Week 3.
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (shoulder) won't return for the remainder of the Week 2 matchup versus Houston. The 22-year-old is considered one of the best corners in the league, so fans and IDP managers alike are hoping the injury isn't severe. While the team should have an update within the next day or so, there's a chance he may not be available for the Week 3 meeting against San Francisco.
Patrick Surtain II Questionable To Return In Week 2
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Houston Texans. The Broncos are already down wideout Jerry Jeudy (shoulder), who exited early in the contest, so the team is now left wondering about the severity of Surtain's injury. Undoubtedly, replacing one of the league's top corners isn't easy, although rookie Damarri Mathis will try his best to fill the void.
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (knee) "is trending in the right direction to play" in Week 10, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The rookie did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, though he logged a limited session on Friday. Rapoport also adds that Surtain participated in Saturday's walk-through. He has appeared in all nine games this season, totaling 29 tackles and one interception.
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (chest) is not believed to have suffered a significant injury after exiting Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens early. This is great news for the Denver defense, as they have looked like one of the best units through the first four games of the regular season. His status this week will be something to monitor, as the Broncos defense will be a top option for fantasy managers in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Surtain and Kyle Fuller could have their hands full against Diontae Johnson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Chase Claypool, but the poor play of Ben Roethlisberger helps the outlook for the Broncos defense as a whole.
The Denver Broncos agreed to terms with first-round cornerback Patrick Surtain II on Tuesday, according to a source. Denver passed on a quarterback in the top 10 of the first round of last month's draft, instead choosing to bolster their secondary with Surtain. The Alabama product has a chance to make the Broncos secondary one of the very best moving forward, and they'll need it in order to slow down the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes. Surtain has excellent athleticism and won't shy away from playing press coverage against opposing wide receivers. He'll need to improve his tackling, though, since he lacks top-end speed. But Surtain has great instincts and should play a lot of man coverage when he's ready.
