Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain (ankle) has been cleared to play in a Thursday Night Football game against the Los Angeles Chargers after fully participating in practice this week.
Fellow cornerback Riley Moss (knee) has been ruled out after being limited at practice this week. With Moss unavailable, Kris Abrams-Draine and Damarri Mathis are the candidates to replace him in the lineup.
Elsewhere on the injury front, defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (foot) was an estimated full participant Wednesday after being listed as a non-participant on Tuesday and Monday. Denver’s backup defensive linemen are Malcolm Roach, Jordan Jackson and Eyioma Uwazurike.
With running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) ruled out, rookie Blake Watson will likely be a candidate to get elevated from the practice squad.
