Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II and wide receiver Pat Bryant suffered short-term ankle injuries during a 24-14 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on October 4. While initial fears of season-ending damage were unfounded, both players will miss upcoming games, forcing the team to rely on reserves and rookies.
The Denver Broncos have confirmed that wide receiver Pat Bryant and cornerback Pat Surtain II avoided season-ending injuries following their Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. While both players will undergo MRIs to determine the exact severity, the team expects them to return later in the 2026 season. Bryant, a key pass catcher, is expected to miss several weeks, forcing the Broncos to rely on other receivers and a struggling running game. The injury also elevates Jahdae Barron to a starting role on defense.
Pat Bryant shined at Day 10 of Broncos camp, catching a 15-yard TD and drawing praise as he pushes into a featured role, while center depth thins after Wattenberg missed practice, Forsyth sat out, and Deiter was carted off ahead of Friday’s preseason opener vs. the Falcons; Payton downplayed concerns, and Penner offered stadium timeline updates.
Broncos training camp Day 8 featured a controlled scrimmage led by Vance Joseph as Sean Payton attended Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame induction. Pat Bryant stepped up as Bo Nix’s top target with multiple catches and a highlighted TD, while rookie Jonah Coleman impressed with strong between-the-tackles runs and pass-catching ability, potentially pushing for RB2. Eyioma Uwazurike showed increased pass-rush potential after a body transformation. The day included injury/rest notes (Waddle, Mims, Wattenberg among those limited) and roster moves, including waiving Sam Webb and signing Ricardo Hallman, as the team evaluates depth ahead of preseason.
Day 6 was in shells with light contact as the Broncos prep for a Saturday scrimmage. With Jaylen Waddle sidelined by a strain and Courtland Sutton resting as part of load management, second-year WR Pat Bryant seized the WR3 opportunity, Jahdae Barron delivered his best camp day to date, and Nik Bonitto returned while Luke Wattenberg sat. The session highlighted progress at the position group amidst an injury/wear-and-tear update ahead of the season.
Denver’s 2026 training camp opened with second-year wideout Pat Bryant standing out in the first practice, as the Broncos add Jaylen Waddle to unlock more offense. Bryant’s size, route running and hands position him as a potential WR3 behind Waddle and Courtland Sutton, which could give Denver four credible receivers as the offseason unfolds.
J.K. Dobbins will not play in the AFC Championship against the Patriots due to a foot injury, while wide receiver Pat Bryant has no injury designation and is set to play; several other Broncos players are listed as questionable or ruled out on the final injury report.
