Injuries Update: Broncos' Surtain II and Bryant Likely to Avoid IR

During a recent press conference, Broncos coach Sean Payton addressed the ankle injuries sustained by cornerbacks Patrick Surtain II and Pat Bryant in the team's loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Payton expressed skepticism regarding the possibility of either player landing on injured reserve, stating that such speculation is premature. He noted that the team has until Saturday to make a decision, which would start the four-game clock for their potential return for the Week 5 game against the Chargers.

Currently, it appears unlikely that either player will participate in the upcoming game on Sunday, and the Broncos are expected to limit their disclosures about the injuries beyond what is required in the injury report.
