Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie was carted off the sidelines and placed on a backboard by medical personnel between the first and second quarters of Sunday’s game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.  The Broncos went on to win against the Jets, 10-9.

Badie was taken to the team’s locker room on a cart at the start of the second quarter against the New York Jets on Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The Broncos initially announced Badie had a back injury and said his return was questionable, before later ruling him out.

After taking a massive tackle from the back from Jets linebacker Quincy Williams on a third down, Badie fumbled but was able to walk to the sideline on his own (it appears that Williams’ helmet struck Badie in the lower back during the play). Shortly thereafter he appeared to collapse to the ground, and was seen receiving medical attention while on one knee.  After a few minutes a backboard was brought out, and Badie was strapped down and carted off the field

Badie spent all of the 2023 season and the first three weeks of this season on the Broncos’ practice squad, but had been promoted to the active roster this week. He entered the game with 86 yards on 10 carries.
