Denver Broncos’ Pat Surtain II Injures Shoulder, Leaves Dallas Cowboys Game

The Denver Broncos faced a significant setback during their recent game against the Dallas Cowboys, losing All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II to a shoulder injury. The injury occurred in the first half, and Surtain did not return for the second half.

Details of Pat Surtain II’s Injury

Surtain experienced the injury while making a tackle, twisting his left shoulder awkwardly. This incident happened late in the first half. As he made his way to the locker room, he was seen holding his left shoulder with his right hand, a clear indication of the injury’s severity.

Game Impact

With Surtain sidelined, the Broncos had to face a formidable Cowboys offense. Prior to the matchup, the Cowboys ranked first in the league for total offense and second in scoring. Surtain’s absence proved critical, considering he is the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Previous Injury and Team Adjustments

Earlier in the game, Surtain had briefly left the field due to a lower right leg injury. However, he returned after a brief evaluation in the injury tent. Following the shoulder injury, Kris Abrams-Draine stepped in to replace Surtain in the Broncos’ base defense.
