The Denver Broncos have suffered another injury setback during Sunday’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has officially been ruled out for the remainder of the game after suffering a concussion.

Waddle took a hard hit from Panthers safety Zakee Wheatley while attempting to make a leaping catch over the middle of the field. He immediately went to the medical tent to be evaluated before eventually heading to the locker room.

Unfortunately, the Broncos have now confirmed that he will not return.

Another Injury Concern for Denver

Waddle managed just one reception for 22 yards before leaving the game.

His absence is a significant loss for Denver’s offense, as he’s been an important part of the passing attack alongside Bo Nix.

With Waddle sidelined, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant will have to take on additional responsibility in the receiving game.

The Broncos also ruled out cornerback Riley Moss with a concussion.

Hopefully, Waddle is doing okay and can make a full recovery. Denver has a bye week coming up, which could give him some additional time to recover before the team’s next game.

For now, the most important thing is his health.
