ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II , a two-time first-team All Pro and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, said he feels a little "anxious," but is more than ready to return to the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Washington Commanders .

Surtain had missed the last three games with a partially torn pectoral muscle, a stretch he said was the longest he had gone without playing in a season in any year he has played football.

"No doubt, so it was a little different for me," Surtain said.

In addition to linebacker Alex Singleton's return from cancer surgery Nov. 7 -- Singleton missed just one game after he had a cancerous tumor removed from a testicle -- it means the Broncos (9-2) will be at full strength defensively to face the Commanders.
