Report: Caden Sterns’ injury is expected to be season-ending
Denver Broncos safety Caden Sterns suffered what is believed to be a season-ending injury against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, according to a report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
On just his second snap of the game, Sterns tore a patellar tendon. He will now likely miss the remaining 16 games of the 2023 season after previously missing 12 games due to injury in 2022.
Sterns (6-1, 207 pounds) was picked by the Broncos in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Texas. After spending his first two seasons as a rotational defensive back, Sterns was listed as a co-starter with Kareem Jackson on the team’s strong safety depth chart this summer.
