Pat Surtain II, cornerback for the Denver Broncos, has successfully cleared concussion protocol and is set to play against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. After suffering a concussion in Week 6, Surtain expressed relief at his recovery, noting this was his first concussion since high school.

In Surtain's absence, veteran Levi Wallace stepped in during the Broncos' recent win over the New Orleans Saints. The Broncos are also facing potential challenges with starting safety P.J. Locke ruled doubtful due to a thumb injury. Meanwhile, the Panthers will be missing key wide receivers Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen.
