Broncos’ Pat Bryant Released From Hospital With Concussion After Late Hit, Likely to Miss Chiefs Game

Officials later picked up a flag on the play after ruling the contact was not to Bryant’s head or neck.

Overview

  • With 41 seconds left, the rookie receiver was immobilized on a backboard, carted off and taken by ambulance after a collision with Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown.
  • Coach Sean Payton said Bryant had movement in his hands and legs, and hospital tests cleared neck and other neurological injury before a concussion was diagnosed.
  • Bryant was discharged Sunday night and has entered the NFL concussion protocol as the team monitors his recovery.
  • He is unlikely to play Thursday at Kansas City, according to team and local reports assessing his status for the short week.
  • Quarterback Bo Nix said he feels responsible for the throw that preceded the hit, and ESPN reported a Bryant family member also went to the hospital after a stadium elevator incident.
