Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss (knee) practiced all three days this week, putting him on the track to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.

“He’s doing good,” coach Sean Payton said of Moss after Thursday’s practice. “He’ll be ready to go.”

The 24-year-old cornerback missed three games with a knee injury and was initially replaced in the lineup by veteran Levi Wallace, who was later benched in favor of rookie Kris Abrams-Draine.

With Moss expected to return to the field this weekend, he will likely start across from Pat Surtain with Ja’Quan McMillian playing in the slot.

As for the Bengals, wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle/knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday.
