Moss finished Sunday's loss to the Chiefs with six tackles (four solo). Moss tied for fourth on Denver in stops in the defeat. The cornerback has been very consistent this season, tallying at least five tackles in all but two of his 10 contests. Moss played mostly on special teams as a rookie last year, but he's taken on a starting role this season and has posted 61 tackles (43 solo), an interception and a forced fumble.
Moss (hip) was listed as a full participant on the Broncos' injury report for Tuesday's walkthrough. Moss was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation, but he didn't have any restrictions during Tuesday's walkthrough. Barring any setbacks, the 2023 third-round pick should be good to go against the Saints on Thursday. Moss logged six tackles (five solo) and one pass defended during Sunday's loss to the Chargers.
Moss (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation. The Iowa product totaled 84 snaps (74 defensive and 10 on special teams) and recorded six total tackles and one pass defended in the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers, but it appears he picked up a hip injury in the process. Moss' participation Tuesday and Wednesday will be the best indication of his potential availability in Week 7, when the Broncos travel to New Orleans.
Moss recorded four tackles (three solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, in the Broncos' win over the Raiders on Sunday. Moss' third-quarter interception of Gardner Minshew was the first of Moss' career, and it effectively ended Minshew's day, as he was benched on the following possession in favor of Aidan O'Connell. After playing just 23 defensive snaps as a 2023 rookie, Moss has logged 97 percent of the playing time on defense through five games and has recorded 33 tackles (24 solo), four pass breakups, including the one INT, and one fumble recovery.
Moss recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks. After tallying just six tackles and playing just 23 defensive snaps across 14 games in his rookie season, Moss was a key contributor for Denver's defense Sunday. The second-year cornerback played opposite of Patrick Surtain, which could keep Moss busy throughout the season as quarterbacks may do their best to avoid throwing to Surtain's side of the field. With that said, Moss could be a solid IDP option going forward after his standout performance in Week 1.
Moss (back) was spotted participating in Denver's mandatory minicamp session Wednesday, Keith Cummings of Sports Illustrated reports. The second-year cornerback was held out of practices earlier in the offseason with a back injury, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Moss saw minimal work on the Broncos' defense during his rookie campaign, tallying six total tackles while playing just 23 defensive snaps through 14 games. He's expected to compete for another depth role in Denver's secondary now that he's returned to form.
Moss was unavailable for practice Thursday due to a back injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Moss apparently "tweaked" something in his back at practice earlier in the week according to head coach Sean Payton, but the cornerback is expected to be back in action at some point during next week's OTAs. Entering his second season in the NFL, Moss will compete with the likes of Damarri Mathis and Ja'Quan McMillian for reps behind primary cornerbacks Patrick Surtain and Levi Wallace in 2024.
