Pat Surtain II, the standout cornerback for the Denver Broncos, suffered a concussion in the first quarter of the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. After just one defensive snap, Surtain was ruled out for the remainder of the game following a collision that resulted in his helmet hitting the ground. This injury comes on the heels of a strong performance where he recorded two interceptions the previous week against the Raiders, including a 100-yard touchdown return. His status for the upcoming game against the Saints is uncertain as he enters the league's concussion protocol.

• Pat Surtain's injury could significantly impact the Broncos' defense.
• Surtain was performing at a high level prior to the injury, being named AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
