Skinner underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum Tuesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Skinner posted on his personal Instagram account that he played the "whole season" with his "labrum tore all around."

Skinner played just 34 defensive snaps over 17 games during the regular season but was a core special-teamer for the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Skinner has been a reliable depth piece for most of the Broncos' season, but a downgrade to limited participation in Friday's practice may mean the backup safety will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game. The 24-year-old is primarily a special-teams player, and if he is unable to take the field, another defensive back or wide receiver will likely take over his snaps.

Skinner (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.

He started the week as a limited practice participant Wednesday, but his full participation Thursday indicates that he'll be available for Week 5 against the Raiders.
