Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie collapsed on the sideline and was taken off the sideline on a stretcher with a back injury during Sunday's game against the New York Jets.
He appeared to suffer the injury on a tackle several plays before he collapsed.
Badie took a hit to his back from the helmet of linebacker Quincy Williams and landed face first on the turf. He fumbled on the play, and the Jets recovered for a turnover. Badie walked off the field after the hit before collapsing on the sideline several plays later.
After the game, coach Sean Payton had no update regarding Badie.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Badie has movement in all extremities. While he was still being evaluated as of a couple of hours ago, the current expectation is that he’ll be fine.
It’s currently unclear whether he returned to Denver with the team; Payton had said on that question, “We’ll see.” The Broncos were due to return to Colorado in the 7:00 p.m. ET hour.
