Broncos cornerback Riley Moss is active for Thursday night's game against the Seahawks in Seattle, per Adam Schefter, after being listed as questionable on Denver's final injury report.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): Broncos CB Riley Moss is active tonight.
His availability was one of the key pregame questions for a Broncos secondary that has been banged up at multiple spots. Moss has been a full-time starter on the outside for Denver this season, playing opposite Patrick Surtain II, and the Broncos ruled out Surtain for the trip earlier this week. Getting Moss cleared gives the secondary one of its primary corners available against Seattle's receiver group.
His presence matters against a Seattle passing game that stresses the perimeter. Denver's defense has been effective when its cornerback group is at full strength, and the active designation keeps the rotation intact after a week that saw several Broncos defenders roll through the injury report.
