Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II and safety Talanoa Hufanga are listed on the Week 8 injury report ahead of the team's upcoming game, according to updates released Wednesday. The status of both defensive starters could influence the Broncos' preparation for a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs suffered a surprising loss to the Seattle Seahawks in their previous outing, leaving quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the offense looking to rebound. The availability of Surtain and Hufanga may factor into Kansas City's game plan as they aim to avoid a second consecutive defeat.
Further details on the severity of the injuries and the players' practice participation were not immediately disclosed. The Broncos and Chiefs are scheduled to meet in Week 8 of the 2026 NFL season.
