Rotowire
Moss (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
The Iowa product totaled 84 snaps (74 defensive and 10 on special teams) and recorded six total tackles and one pass defended in the Broncos' Week 6 loss to the Chargers, but it appears he picked up a hip injury in the process.

Rotowire
Moss recorded four tackles (three solo) and two pass breakups, including one interception, in the Broncos' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Moss' third-quarter interception of Gardner Minshew was the first of Moss' career, and it effectively ended Minshew's day, as he was benched on the following possession in favor of Aidan O'Connell. After playing just 23 defensive snaps as a 2023 rookie, Moss has logged 97 percent of the playing time on defense through five games and has recorded 33 tackles (24 solo), four pass breakups, including the one INT, and one fumble recovery.

Broncos' Riley Moss: Leads Denver in tackles
Rotowire
Moss recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Seahawks.
After tallying just six tackles and playing just 23 defensive snaps across 14 games in his rookie season, Moss was a key contributor for Denver's defense Sunday. The second-year cornerback played opposite of Patrick Surtain, a role that could keep Moss busy throughout the season as quarterbacks may do their best to avoid throwing to Surtain's side of the field. With that said, Moss could be a solid IDP option going forward after his standout performance in Week 1.

Rotowire
Moss was unavailable for practice Thursday due to a back injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Moss apparently "tweaked" something in his back at practice earlier in the week, according to head coach Sean Payton, but the cornerback is expected to be back in action at some point during next week's OTAs. Entering his second season in the NFL, Moss will compete with the likes of Damarri Mathis and Ja'Quan McMillian for reps behind primary cornerbacks Patrick Surtain and Levi Wallace in 2024.

Broncos' Riley Moss: Heads to Denver
Rotowire
The Broncos selected Moss in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 83rd overall.
Moss was a productive corner at Iowa with 11 career interceptions, and he put himself on the Day 2 radar with an impressive pre-draft process highlighted by a solid showing at the Senior Bowl and a strong workout at the combine (4.45 40, 39-inch vertical). He can play on the boundary or at nickel in the Denver secondary.
