Broncos' Riley Moss: Significant improvement in 2024
Riley Moss recorded 86 total tackles (65 solo), eight passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games in 2024.Moss served as one of Denver's starting outside cornerbacks in 2024, finishing as the team's third-leading tackler while starting all 15 games in which he appeared. However, Moss struggled in coverage at times this season, allowing 747 receiving yards (11.1 yards per completion) and a 95.4 passer rating when targeted. The Iowa product likely showed enough flashes to continue serving as the Denver Broncos' No. 2 outside cornerback, as he remains under contract through the 2026 season and is expected to continue starting opposite Patrick Surtain in 2025.

Broncos' Riley Moss: Struggles to contain Higgins
Riley Moss finished Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals with 14 tackles (11 solo).Moss returned Saturday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He finished as the Denver Broncos' leading tackler, but with Patrick Surtain matched up against Ja'Marr Chase for most of the night, Moss struggled in his coverage assignment against Tee Higgins. Two of Higgins' three touchdown catches came when Moss was covering him, including the game-winning three-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow late in overtime. Moss and the Broncos will head back home to host the Chiefs in Week 18 in a win-and-get-in game, and the Denver defense will likely be facing backup quarterback Carson Wentz rather than Patrick Mahomes as Kansas City is locked in as the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the postseason.

Broncos' Riley Moss: Won't play in Week 16
Riley Moss (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Denver 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.

Broncos' Riley Moss: Will miss Week 15 vs. Indy
Riley Moss (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's clash against the Colts, Aric DiLalla of the Denver 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.

Broncos' Riley Moss: Non-participant in practice Wednesday
Riley 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 Denver 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.
