Moss (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Moss was estimated as a non-participant in Monday's practice, so Tuesday's limited participation was progress. His status for Thursday's game against the Raiders remains unclear.

Rotowire
Cooper (thumb) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Cooper was estimated as a limited participant in Monday's practice, but his improved status Tuesday should line him up to play Thursday against the Raiders. Cooper has been a key pass rusher for the Broncos, logging seven sacks through nine games to begin the campaign.

J.T. Gray: Let go by Denver
Rotowire
The Broncos waived Gray (hamstring) with an injury designation Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Gray is headed to waivers after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, which was just his first outing of the campaign. The special-teams standout will look to get healthy and find a new opportunity elsewhere.

Broncos' Brandon Jones: Upgrades to limited participation
Rotowire
Jones (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
Jones was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, so this was a step in the right direction. His participation Wednesday should shed further light on his status for Thursday's game against the Raiders.

Broncos' Patrick Surtain: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Surtain (pectoral) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Surtain worked on the side of the field during Tuesday's session as he continues to rehab from a pectoral injury that he sustained in Week 8. The All-Pro corner isn't expected to go on injured reserve, but he'll likely be sidelined for the Broncos' next two games and aim to return after the Week 12 bye. With Surtain sidelined, Ja'Quan McMillian, Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine all saw increased snaps on defense during the Broncos' Week 9 win over the Texans.

Broncos' Jonathon Cooper: Limited to begin week
Rotowire
Cooper (thumb) was estimated as a limited practice participant Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Cooper played his typical role in Denver's Week 9 win over the Texans, logging two tackles while playing 40 percent of defensive snaps. It's unclear when the injury occurred, though it doesn't appear to be too serious considering that he was still estimated to be able to practice to begin the week. Cooper's status for Thursday's Week 10 matchup against the Raiders should become clearer as the week progresses.

Broncos' Brandon Jones: No practice to begin week
Rotowire
Jones (foot) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice report, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
The Broncos didn't actually take the field for practice, but it wasn't a positive start to the week for Jones. He played in 96 percent of defensive snaps in Week 9 and logged six tackles, so it's unclear how serious the injury is. Jones' participation for the rest of the week should give a clearer indication of whether he'll be available for Thursday's matchup against the Raiders.

Hufanga registered nine tackles (five solo) and two pass defenses during Denver's 18-15 win over Houston on Sunday.
Hufanga was one of three Broncos players to play all 73 defensive snaps, and he finished second on the team in tackles behind Alex Singleton (10).

Broncos' Alex Singleton: Double-digit stops in Week 9 win
Rotowire
Singleton registered 10 tackles (four solo), including one for a loss, during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Broncos' Dre Greenlaw: Logs first sack of 2025
Rotowire
Greenlaw registered eight tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Broncos' 18-15 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Greenlaw was credited for his first sack of the season after taking down C.J. Stroud early in the first quarter. Greenlaw played just 27 defensive snaps in Week 9 but still finished third on the Broncos in tackles behind Alex Singleton (10) and Talanoa Hufanga (nine). Greenlaw sat out of seven of the first nine games of the regular season due to a quadriceps injury and a suspension that caused him to miss Week 8 against the Cowboys, but the 2019 fifth-rounder could see his snap count increase over the course of the second half of the regular season.

Broncos' J.T. Gray: Won't return with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Gray (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Gray may have sustained the injury on special teams, which is severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. The injury could impact his availability for the Broncos' Week 10 contest against the Raiders on Thursday.

Broncos' P.J. Locke: Sidelined by neck injury
Rotowire
Locke (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.
Locke seemingly suffered the injury during Denver's Week 8 win over the Cowboys, as he began the week with a limited practice session. However, he was unable to practice Friday and will now miss his first game of the season. Locke has played almost exclusively on special teams.

Broncos' Patrick Surtain: Won't play Week 9 as expected
Rotowire
Surtain (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.
The All-Pro corner sustained a pectoral injury during the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Cowboys, which carries a four-to-six week recovery timeline. Luca Evans of The Denver Post reported Wednesday that the Broncos aren't planning to place Surtain on injured reserve at this time in the hopes that he'll be available to return following the Week 12 bye. Ja'Quan McMillian appears to be the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Riley Moss in Surtain's absence, which gives Kris Abrams-Draine and rookie first-rounder Jahdae Barron the opportunity for an increased role at the slot corner position.

Broncos' Nik Bonitto: Limited production in Week 8
Rotowire
Bonitto recorded one solo tackle in Sunday's 44-24 win over the Cowboys.
Bonitto was a virtual non-factor for a second straight week, failing to secure a sack in consecutive games for the first time this year. The linebacker will look to get back on track against a suspect offensive line in Houston in Week 9.

Broncos' Patrick Surtain: Likely avoids IR
Rotowire
As of now, the Broncos are not planning on placing Surtain (pectoral) on the injured reserve list, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.
Surtain is expected to miss four to six weeks after sustaining a pectoral injury during the Broncos' Week 8 win over the Cowboys. However, it doesn't appear as if Denver will place the star corner on IR, suggesting he could return sooner rather than later. While he's likely sidelined over the next couple of weeks, 2025 first-round pick Jahdae Barron is expected to have an increased defensive role as one of the team's top cornerbacks.
Hufanga posted seven tackles (two solo) Sunday in a 44-24 Week 8 win over the Cowboys.
Hufanga finished as the Broncos' third-leading tackler in the victory. Hufanga has registered 52 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and six pass defenses through eight games this season.

Joshua Pickett: Works out with New England
Rotowire
Pickett (hand) had a tryout with the Patriots on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pickett was waived after reaching an injury settlement with the Broncos in August, but he now appears to be fully healthy. The cornerback was dealing with an apparent hand injury, but he'll now look to get another shot with a team in an attempt to play this season.
