Concerns have arisen among Denver Broncos fans after Tyler Badie sustained an injury during a recent NFL game against the New York Jets. The promising running back was carted off the field after a hard hit to his back, leaving many wondering about the severity of his injury and his potential return to the team. As the Broncos continue their season, Badie’s condition and recovery will be closely monitored.
Here are the latest updates on Tyler Badie’s injury, his recovery timeline, and what it means for the Broncos moving forward.
Tyler Badie sustained a back injury during the Broncos’ game against the Jets when he was hit by linebacker Quincy Williams near the end of the first quarter (via New York Times).
Badie fumbled the ball after the hit. He was seen holding his lower back as he walked off the field under his own power. During the break between the first and second quarters, trainers placed Badie in a neck brace. He was then immobilized and stretchered off the field for further evaluation.
The Broncos’ medical staff transported Badie to the tunnel for assessment, and reports later confirmed that he had movement in all extremities. He was initially listed as questionable but was later ruled out for the remainder of the game.
When will Tyler Badie return to play NFL?
The timeline for Tyler Badie’s return remains unclear, as the Broncos have not provided a definitive update.
While early reports suggest that Badie is “doing OK,” the injury may not be as severe as initially feared. He is still undergoing evaluations to determine the full extent of the injury. Coach Sean Payton had no update immediately following the game (via NBC Sports).
It is unclear if Badie returned to Denver with the team. His return to the field will depend on further assessments. Fans can expect more updates from the Broncos’ medical staff in the coming days.
