Broncos secondary starters miss practice before Seahawks game

The Broncos are preparing for a short-week Thursday night game against Seattle after improving to 3-2 with a win over the Chargers. Denver’s defense could be without starting safety Talanoa Hufanga and cornerback Pat Surtain II, both sidelined by ankle injuries, though cornerback Riley Moss returned to practice. Coach Sean Payton said the offense must improve, while emphasizing that Denver’s struggles involve broader execution problems rather than only quarterback Bo Nix. Seattle is also preparing for the matchup, with Seahawks assistant Brian Fleury discussing the team’s preparations.
