Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant was announced as having a concussion. He was discharged from a local hospital on Sunday evening after treatment. The injury occurred on a play in a Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After their battle, the Jaguars emerged victorious with a score of 34-20.
The confrontation occurred with only 41 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Bryant had recorded five catches for 42 yards prior to the collision, which included Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown. After the hit, medical personnel from the Broncos could be seen placing Bryant on a backboard immobilizing him and taking care of him on the field.
Denver’s head coach Sean Payton provided some encouraging news regarding Bryant’s injury. He announced that Bryant had feeling and movement in his extremities, which was a huge relief to the team and Bryant’s many fans.
“You never want to see one of your brothers go down,” said fellow Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton, expressing the concern shared among teammates.
Bryant, a third-rounder from April’s NFL draft, has been the talk of the town this season. He’s recorded 27 catches for 347 yards and a touchdown. He’ll sit out this Saturday’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas night. His concussion continues to sideline him on the field.
Bo Nix, the quarterback responsible for the throw that led to the hit, reflected on the incident, stating, “You never want to see somebody in that situation, and I feel responsible because I threw it.”
Naturally, the Broncos organization will be monitoring Bryant’s recovery. Fans will be glad to hear that he’s made significant progress towards getting back on the field. His health will understandably be a prevailing concern among the team and fans as they move through what is still a long season ahead.
