Lands on reserve/PUP list The Broncos placed Bassey (knee) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the Denver Broncos' official website reports.
Impact Bassey started training camp on the PUP list as he continued to rehab from his December surgery to repair his torn ACL. He will now miss at least the first six weeks of the regular season, and when he returns, he will have an uphill battle to surpass Ronald Darby, Bryce Callahan and Kary Vincent on the depth chart.

Won't be 100 percent for camp Bassey (knee) will begin training camp with limitations, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Bassey underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in December, so it's not too surprising he won't be fully cleared for the start of camp. The UDFA played well as a rookie in 12 games before the injury with 23 tackles (21 solo) and an interception, though he may not be ready for Week 1 while working through his rehab.

Courtland Sutton impressing in rehab; Albert Okwuegbunam, Essang Bassey likely not 'full speed' to start training camp "I can’t imagine that he could be doing any better than he is at this stage in rehab," Head Coach Vic Fangio said of Sutton.

Heads to IR The Broncos placed Bassey (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Bassey was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee following Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, so this news isn't quite surprising. The undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest performed well in his rookie campaign, compiling 23 tackles (21 solo) and an interception across 12 games. He'll hit the recovery trail after surgery, as it's unclear whether he'll be ready for the the beginning of the 2021 season.

Out for season Bassey suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during Sunday's loss to the Chiefs and will undergo season-ending surgery, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact An undrafted rookie out of Wake Forest, Bassey played a major role in the Broncos' secondary this season and was quite impressive in the process. He allowed just 188 receiving yards and a touchdown over 12 games (354 snaps). Bassey will soon join Bryce Callahan (foot) on injured reserve. With the injury happening so late in the season, it's unclear if Bassey will be ready for the 2021 campaign. Duke Dawson is expected to bump into a starting role moving forward.

Injures knee on SNF Bassey (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports.
Impact Bassey hurt his knee in the third quarter and was promptly ruled out, which suggests the injury could be serious. Duke Dawson will step in for the injured Bassey as the Denver defense attempts to keep Patrick Mahomes and the high-flying Kansas City passing game in check.

Continues climb up depth chart Bassey's recent rise made established veterans Isaac Yiadom and De'Vante Bausby expendableZac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact A few weeks ago, Bassey looked like a potential developmental project after going undrafted out of Wake Forest. Now, with Yiadom traded and the presumed CB3 Bausby cut, Bassey could slot as high as CB3 or CB4 depending on the matchup and development of fellow youngsters Davontae Harris and Michael Ojemudia. Reports out of camp have been that Bassey performed well at nickelback in practice this week.
