The biggest impact for the Broncos is the expected loss of Surtain. The cornerback was injured early in the game against the Chargers and, after being diagnosed with a concussion, did not return.

As of Tuesday, he has not returned to practice. While this is no guarantee of anything, it’s unlikely he’ll be on the field in New Orleans.
