Moss posted 80 tackles (57 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and 19 passes defensed (including one interception) over 17 games in 2025.
EDGE Analysis
Moss finished a solid third season with the Broncos, leading the team in passes defensed and recording the first sack of his young career. The 25-year-old cornerback's 80 tackles counted for the third-highest total among Broncos defenders behind only linebacker Alex Singleton (135) and safety Talanoa Hufanga (106). Playing opposite of arguably the best corner in the game in Patrick Surtain, Moss did a solid job helping to make Denver's secondary one of the strongest units in the league this season. The Iowa product will enter the final year of his rookie deal next season before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2027. Moss should continue to stay busy during the 2026 campaign as offenses choose to shy away from throwing in Surtain's direction.

Moss registered five tackles (four solo) during the Broncos' 10-7 win over the Raiders on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Moss was working through a minor ankle injury leading up to Thursday's game, but that didn't appear to bother him as he played all 60 defensive snaps. The third-year corner has recorded at least five stops in five of his last six games and is up to 48 tackles (35 solo) and 10 pass defenses through 10 regular-season games.

Moss (ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
EDGE Analysis
Moss was estimated as a non-participant in Monday's practice, so Tuesday's limited participation was progress. His status for Thursday's game against the Raiders remains unclear.

Moss recorded two tackles (two solo) during Monday's 28-3 win versus Cincinnati.
EDGE Analysis
Moss' mark in the box score wasn't awe-inspiring in Week 4, but he was a big part of the reason why Denver held Bengals wideouts to just 64 combined receiving yards. He's been solid in coverage generally to start the season, and he's also normally an opportunistic tackler for a cornerback. Moss could easily post a better tackle total come Week 5 at Philadelphia.

Moss recorded seven tackles (five solo) in the Broncos' win over the Titans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Moss started at outside cornerback opposite Patrick Surtain and played all 57 defensive snaps versus Tennessee. In addition to the seven tackles, Moss also recorded a pair of pass breakups. Next up for Moss and Denver's defense is a date with Daniel Jones, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Adonai Mitchell and Josh Downs of the Colts.

Moss recorded 86 total tackles (65 solo), eight passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
Moss served as one of Denver's starting outside cornerback spots in 2024, finishing as the team's third-leading tackler while starting all 15 games he appeared in. 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 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.

Moss finished Saturday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Bengals with 14 tackles (11 solo).
EDGE Analysis
Moss returned Saturday from a three-game absence due to a knee injury. He finished as the 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.

Moss (knee) was a full participant in Denver's practice Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moss managed to return to practice after missing the team's past three games with a knee injury. The 24-year-old is trending toward playing in Saturday's matchup versus the Bengals, where he will look to help slow down Cincinnati's high powered offense.

Moss (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Moss (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday's session was a walkthrough, but it's the first time Moss has not been listed as a DNP since suffering an MCL injury against the Raiders in Week 12. Moss could return from a two-game absence and play against the Chargers on Thursday if he can practice in at least a limited capacity during Wednesday's session.
