Speculation swirled on social media after the running back was placed on a back board and taken out of the game before the start of the second quarter against the New York Jets.
Slow-motion replays showed Badie landing awkwardly on his head and neck after a heavy hit from the Jets’ Quincy Williams. He came off the field, but then appeared to collapse, prompting trainers, medical staff and teammates to rush to his aid on the sideline. He was then secured on a board and lifted onto a cart before being taken from the field.
The Broncos announced Badie had a back injury and said his return was questionable before later ruling him out of the game.
There has been no further update from the club on his condition.
The running back was signed by the Broncos to the active roster from the practice squad earlier this week. He’s in his third season with Denver after being signed from Baltimore’s practice squad in 2022.
