Aj Bouye won't need surgery, will likely go on ir

Denver Broncos cornerback AJ Bouye left Monday night's game after landing on his shoulder, dislocating it. Bouye is now expected to miss some time, although he won't need surgery. The first-year Bronco is likely heading to injured reserve.

#Broncos CB AJ Bouye’s dislocated shoulder underwent tests yesterday, and source said no surgery is planned. It’s on to rehab, and Bouye should be out just a few weeks. That likely means he’s headed to Injured Reserve, from which he can return after just three weeks.

The hope is that Bouye can return after just a few weeks and not be out long-term. No surgery is one of the best-case scenarios for a short-term return. Denver has the Pittsburgh Steelers​ up next.
