NFL on Prime’s James Palmer reports that returning in Week 8 against the Chiefs is more likely for Pat Surtain (ankle) than in Week 7 against the Cardinals.

Palmer also clarified that Surtain did not suffer a non-contact injury, as has been reported previously. Surtain apparently injured his ankle two plays before he exited the Broncos’ Week 5 game against the 49ers. The Broncos might be able to get by without Surtain next week, but getting him back before facing Patrick Mahomes would be huge.
