Report: Broncos WR Courtland Sutton had ankle surgery

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton underwent ankle surgery this offseason, according to 9News, but it doesn’t seem to be serious.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton underwent ankle surgery this offseason, according to a report from KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.

Sutton injured his ankle in the team’s 2023 season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders, a 27-14 loss on the road. Klis reported that it “doesn’t seem” like the team or Sutton is concerned, which seemingly suggests it was a minor procedure.

The Broncos picked up Sutton’s $2 million guarantee in March, but the receiver did not report to the start of voluntary workouts on Monday as he seeks a new contract. The receiver has been working out daily in Florida, according to Klis.

Sutton, 28, is set to have a base salary of $13 million this year, but only $2 million is guaranteed. His salary will increase to $13.5 million in 2025, with none of it guaranteed. Coming off a 10-touchdown season, Sutton now seems to be seeking more security.

The next mandatory session for Denver’s players is minicamp in June.
