The Denver Broncos are cautiously optimistic that wide receiver Pat Bryant, who was carted off the field during a game against the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara on October 4, has avoided a season-ending injury. According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, both Bryant and cornerback Pat Surtain II will undergo MRIs to assess their injuries, although initial reports suggest they could return later in the season. Bryant's absence would impact the Broncos' offense significantly, as he has emerged as a key receiver and blocker. The Broncos will rely on Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims, and Lil’Jordan Humphrey to fill the void left by Bryant's potential absence.
