We hope and pray that Pat Bryant recovers from his injuries suffered on Sunday.
The Denver Broncos were pretty much out of their contest against the Jags, but they kept trying. That ended up working out terribly for them.
With less than a minute to play, Bo Nix fired a hospital ball to rookie wideout Pat Bryant. He got crushed going over the middle, and the mood got even worse. The big hit from Montaric Brown drew a penalty flag and left Bryant lying on the ground.
Trainers rushed out to check on Bryant as the officials figured out the flag. Things only got worse. They eventually strapped the 23-year-old to a backboard and carted him off. Nix looked distraught, having thrown Bryant right into the big hit.
One of the scariest hits you will ever see.
Pat Bryant was immobilized and carted off.
Pray for him 🙏pic.twitter.com/abWa399CiG https://t.co/XZv7oi7uJW

It was just a terrible scene to end what had been a bad day for the Broncos. Reporters at the game noted that medical personnel took Bryant to an ambulance to leave the stadium.
His injury comes one week after Micah Parsons tore his ACL against the Broncos.
Head coach Sean Payton said at a postgame press conference that it was “encouraging” that Bryant had movement in his extremities.
Bryant entered the game with 22 receptions for 305 yards with the Broncos. Denver selected him in the third round at No. 74 overall in April.
