Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:24:50 GMT

Caden Sterns cannot catch a break.The third-year safety’s tough run of injury luck continued with a knee injury Sunday that those in the Broncos organization fear is serious.Head coach Sean Payton on Monday said only that Sterns was undergoing medical imaging on the injury and would not confirm an NFL Network report that he suffered a season-ending torn patellar tendon.Sterns shot into the backfield on a Josh Jacobs run on the first play of the second quarter, but went to the turf awkwardly as he attempted to make a tackle.He appeared to immediately assume the injury was serious, stomping and punching the turf while being attended to by trainers and then wiping away tears as he was carted off the field.The emotion is understandable for the former Texas standout, who missed all but five games last year due to a hip injury and was primed for a breakout season. Instead, he played just two defensive snaps before getting hurt again.“It’s tough, especially in there makin...
