Broncos rule out Hufanga and Surtain against Seahawks
The Denver Broncos ruled out safety Talanoa Hufanga and cornerback Pat Surtain II for Thursday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Hufanga injured his ankle during Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Chargers, while Surtain has been out since hurting his ankle in Week 4.
Hufanga is expected to miss multiple weeks, though the length of his absence depends on his recovery.
His recent impact includes forcing and recovering a fumble against the Chargers that helped set up Denver's first touchdown.
Devon Key is expected to start in Hufanga's safety spot alongside Brandon Jones.
The two absences limit Denver's ability to use a defensive package with six defensive backs.
Cornerback Riley Moss is questionable with injured ribs after missing Week 5 and taking part in limited practices this week.
