Badie went back to the sideline and collapsed. Doctors and running back Javonte Williams rushed to Badie. The trainers put him on a backboard and he was carted off the field.
NFL Network reported that Badie was diagnosed with a back injury and was questionable to return.
Badie was a sixth round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. However, he never saw the field for the Ravens and got his first bite of action with the Broncos in 2022.
