The Broncos have ruled out cornerback Pat Surtain II (concussion) and offensive tackle Alex Palczewski ahead of Thursday night’s matchup against the Saints.
Surtain was listed as a non-participant at practice for three straight days after suffering a head injury in the first quarter of last week’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He will miss his first game since his rookie season.
With Surtain sidelined, the Broncos could play Ja’Quan McMillian or Levi Wallace at outside cornerback.
Palczewski was listed as a limited participant on the injury report on Monday and Tuesday before not participating in Wednesday’s walkthrough.
