Jaylen Waddle suffers chest injury aggravation
Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle aggravated a previous chest injury during a fourth-quarter reverse play in the team's recent victory over the Arizona Cardinals. The injury occurred when Waddle bobbled a pitch from Bo Nixon and landed hard on his chest and left shoulder.
Head coach Sean Payton described the play call as “awful” and “dumb,” apologizing for the decision to run a trick play while holding a significant lead. Waddle's availability for the upcoming Week 8 game against the Kansas City Chiefs will depend on his performance in practice this week. He is expected to be listed as questionable, with his participation potentially hinging on pain tolerance.
