Moss (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports. Moss appeared to be trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday night's divisional matchup, upgrading to limited practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday after opening the week as an estimated non-participant. However, it now seems his knee injury was too significant to overcome, preventing him from suiting up in Week 16. Expect Levi Wallace and Damarri Mathis to see increased work with Denver's first-team secondary in Moss' stead.

Moss (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports. Moss appeared to be trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday night's divisional matchup, upgrading to limited practice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday after opening the week as an estimated non-participant. However, it now seems his knee injury was too significant to overcome, preventing him from suiting up in Week 16. Expect Levi Wallace and Damarri Mathis to see increased work with Denver's first-team secondary in Moss' stead.
Moss (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate. Tuesday's session was a walkthrough, but it's the first time Moss has not been listed as a DNP since suffering an MCL injury against the Raiders in Week 12. Moss could return from a two-game absence and play against the Chargers on Thursday if he can practice in at least a limited capacity during Wednesday's session.
Moss (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Moss has missed the Broncos' last two games, and now Denver has a short week ahead of Thursday night's game versus the Chargers. Kris Abrams-Draine got the start opposite Patrick Surtain against Indianapolis with Moss sidelined and would likely be in line for another start should Moss need to miss a third straight contest.
Moss (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Moss will miss a second straight game after sitting out all three practices this week. The second-year cornerback suffered an MCL injury against the Raiders in Week 12, and with Denver having a quick turnaround ahead of a Thursday night game against the Chargers in Week 16, Moss's status for that contest is probably shaky, at best. Levi Wallace is likely in line for another start Sunday in Moss's absence.
Moss (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Though Stevens notes that Moss "participated in stretching" during Wednesday's session, he didn't practice otherwise. The second-year cornerback hurt his MCL in Week 12 against Las Vegas and hasn't practiced since. The Broncos were on bye last week, but that may not have provided Moss the time to recover from the injury enough to be ready to return to game action. If he's out again Sunday versus Indianapolis, Levi Wallace could pick up another start.
Moss (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Browns. Moss was a DNP in practice all week due to a sprained MCL he suffered in the Broncos' Week 12 win over the Raiders. Moss will look to take advantage of Denver's Week 14 bye and recover in time for Week 15 against Indianapolis on Sunday, Dec. 15. Levi Wallace is slated to operate as the Broncos' second starting corner Monday opposite Patrick Surtain due to Moss's injury.
Moss (knee) didn't practice Friday. Moss was estimated as a DNP on Thursday, and he didn't take the field Friday. Head coach Sean Payton said after Moss suffered the injury Sunday that the cornerback may have avoided a serious injury, but his ability to play on Monday Night Football this week appears to be in jeopardy. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Saturday in order to be able to suit up against Cleveland.
Moss (knee) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice estimate. Moss suffered an MCL injury in the second quarter of the Broncos' 29-19 win over the Raiders this past Sunday. Denver held a walkthrough Thursday, so Moss will have two chances this week to return to practice and give himself a chance at playing against the Browns on Monday. In the 11 regular-season games prior to his MCL injury, Moss accrued 67 tackles (49 solo), seven pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Speaking with the media after the team's win over the Raiders on Sunday, coach Sean Payton said Moss (knee) suffered an MCL injury versus Las Vegas, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Moss was injured in the second quarter Sunday and was unable to return for the second half. Levi Wallace filled in opposite Patrick Surtain at cornerback for Denver. Payton believes Moss did avoid a serious injury. Moss will have eight days to try and get ready for next Monday night's Week 13 date with the Browns.
