Sterns (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Sterns suffered a torn patellar tendon in the season opener against the Raiders. The safety will be eligible to return from injured reserve after four weeks, but Sterns' injury is likely to be season-ending.

Sterns is expected to be sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering a torn patellar tendon during a 17-16 loss to the Raiders on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sterns needed to be carted off the field after suffering the injury and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Entering his third season, the Texas product was expected to play a more significant role in 2023. His absence could lead to increased roles for Delarrin Turner-Yell and JL Skinner at safety.

Sterns was carted off the field and won't return due to a knee injury, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's never a good sign when a player is immediately ruled out after being carted off, but the severity of the injury remains unclear. Delarrin Turner-Yell is the only healthy safety behind Kareem Jackson and Justin Simmons.

Sterns (hip), who is bouncing back from injury, is holding his own throughout Broncos' OTAs, Chad Jensen of Sports Illustrated reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sterns missed the final 12 games of the 2022 NFL season with the injury but has since had the offseason to move past the issue. He's been touted by All-Pro teammate, Justin Simmons, who told reporters that "Caden has looked really good... He's been taking care of his body really well." Expect the 2021 fifth-round pick to compete with veteran safety Kareem Jackson for a key safety role alongside Simmons under new head coach Sean Payton.

Sterns will miss a third game in a row Sunday after suffering a hip injury in Week 5 against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Sterns appeared to be trending toward a return with two limited practices to begin the week after he missed Monday's loss to the Chargers. However, he failed to take the field in any capacity Friday, leaving his status for Sunday in doubt. K'Waun Williams will be locked into a heavy workload against the Jets should Sterns be ruled out.

Sterns (hip) is listed as out for Monday's game at the Chargers, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sterns will miss his first game of the season with a hip injury, the precise severity of which still is unknown. P.J. Locke likely will start across from Kareem Jackson on Monday in Sterns' absence.

Sterns made three tackles while intercepting two passes and deflecting three others in Thursday's 12-9 overtime loss to the Colts.

With Justin Simmons (quadriceps) unavailable, Sterns has produced 21 tackles with two interceptions and four pass deflections over five games this season.
