Denver Broncos defensive back Riley Moss’ availability will make the difference in Saturday’s NFL Week 17 game against Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, according to a tweet Friday from ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky.

Orlovsky tweeted that Denver will eliminate Cincinnati from the playoffs if Moss plays. He said the Bengals will stay alive with a win against the Broncos if Moss doesn’t play.

Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Moss will be “ready to go” against the Bengals.

Moss was in his second season with Denver on Broncos’ injury report with a knee injury, but he was a full participant in training all week.

Moss has not played since Nov. 24 against the Raiders. Moss, a third-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Iowa, has played in 12 games this season and ranks third on the team with 71 tackles.
