The Denver Broncos will enter Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks with a depleted defensive lineup, as key starters Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga remain sidelined. The absence of Surtain II and Hufanga—both critical pieces of Denver’s secondary—adds pressure on the unit, which already saw cornerback Riley Moss return from injury and saw the elevation of Sam Fresch Jr.
and safety Taylor Rapp. Meanwhile, the Seahawks will also suit up without several contributors, including linebackers Chazz Surratt and Drake Thomas, as well as cornerback Avery Smitth and running back Robert Henry.
With the Broncos’ defense already stretched thin, Seattle’s offense may find extra opportunities against a secondary lacking its usual depth. Quarterback Sam Ehlinger and defensive lineman Jordan Jackson are also among the inactives for Denver, further complicating the Broncos’ depth chart ahead of a high-stakes matchup.
