What happened to Pat Bryant?

The play unfolded when Bo Nix zipped a pass over the middle to Bryant, who managed to secure the catch despite heavy traffic. Almost immediately, Jaguars defensive back Montaric Brown delivered a crushing hit, drawing a penalty flag but leaving Bryant motionless on the turf.

Medical staff quickly surrounded Bryant as officials discussed the call. Moments later, he was placed on a backboard and carted off the field.

The camera then panned to Nix, who appeared shaken after leading his receiver into the collision.

Bryant, a rookie who has earned meaningful snaps and trust in the Broncos’ offense, has shown flashes of being a potential difference-maker. For now, however, Denver’s focus shifts from football to his recovery, as the team waits for clarity on the extent of the injury.
