2023 Fantasy Outlook
After suffering a season-ending hip injury early in the 2022 season, Sterns will look to bounce back to the level of promise he showed in his first 20 games in Denver. It's possible the 23-year-old may not be ready for the start of training camp, so the team made it a point to re-sign veteran safety Kareem Jackson to a one-year deal. Assuming Sterns can come back healthy this season, it's likely he takes a step forward as Jackson's successor and builds upon his already impressive performance. Read Past Outlooks

Sterns (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sterns suffered a torn left patellar tendon in the season opener against the Raiders. The safety will be eligible to return from injured reserve after four weeks, but Sterns' injury is likely to be season-ending.

The fifth-round selection in this year's draft figures to add more depth to the Denver secondary. Drafted as a safety, Sterns will likely not see the field as a starter in 2021. Depending on his play during the preseason, the rookie may earn himself a spot on the roster and be a part of the defensive rotation in the upcoming season.
