Having Kirk back along with Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins from a concussion provides a boost to a receiving corps that excelled against the 49ers. Especially Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins.

Christian Kirk won't be getting in on the action Monday night at Lumen Field when the Houston Texans take on the Seattle Seahawks.

It's also worth noting that the Broncos’ All-Pro linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to the fold after missing one game through suspension, so it will be no mean feat for Stroud and Co. to gain positive traction irrespective of Surtain being sidelined.
