Badie rushed twice for eight yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills. Badie played just three of the Broncos' 42 offensive snaps in his first game back from a long stint on injured reserve due to a back injury suffered in Week 4. The 24-year-old running back missed the remainder of the regular season, finishing the year with just 11 carries for 86 yards while catching all three of his targets for minus-2 yards. Badie also lost one fumble in his three games played. The Missouri product remains under contract for the 2025 season, and he'll likely compete with fellow running backs Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime next season while Javonte Williams could be headed out of Denver as an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Broncos could, however, choose to sign a free agent running back this offseason or address the position in the draft, adding more competition ahead of the 2025 campaign.
Badie (back) is active for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Bills. Badie, who landed on IR after suffering an injury during Week 4 action, was activated by the Broncos on Saturday and is thus set to provide postseason depth in a backfield that also includes Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin. With Badie back in the mix versus Buffalo, RBs Audric Estime and Blake Watson were made inactive by Denver in the team's postseason opener.
The Broncos activated Badie (back) from injured reserve Saturday. Badie has been on injured reserve since early October due to a back injury that he suffered in Week 4 against the Jets. He's still listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Bills, but he should be able to play given his full practice participation throughout the week and his activation off IR. If he is active, Badie will join a crowded Broncos backfield consisting of Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime, Javonte Williams and Blake Watson.
Badie (back), who remains on IR, is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's road AFC wild-card round game against the Bills, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports. Badie logged a trio of full practices this week, but he'll need to be officially brought off IR by Saturday's deadline in order to be eligible to play Sunday. If cleared to face Buffalo, Badie will figure to handle a depth role in Denver's backfield, which already houses Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime, Javonte Williams and Blake Watson.
Badie (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Badie is in the final stages of his recovery from a back injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve in early October. He was a full participant in practice this week, and while he won't play in Sunday's regular-season finale, Badie could be activated off IR for the wild-card round if the Broncos qualify for the playoffs.
Badie (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Badie remains on injured reserve but had his 21-day practice window opened Dec. 24. He practiced fully all last week but was eventually ruled out against Cincinnati. Badie once again practiced fully all this week, but it's up in the air if he'll see the field against Kansas City, especially with all three of Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime healthy.
Badie (back) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Badie was originally listed as questionable for Sunday's contest after practicing in full all week. However, the Missouri product has been downgraded to out and will remain on injured reserve through Week 17. With Badie now officially ruled out, the Broncos' running back room will likely consist of Javonte Williams, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson.
Badie (back), who is still on injured reserve, is questionable to suit up in Saturday's Week 17 contest against the Bengals, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Badie landed on IR in early October due to a back injury. He was designated to return Tuesday and logged a trio of full practices this week. Badie hasn't yet been activated from IR, and Denver would need to make that move by the end of Friday in order for Badie to be eligible to suit up Saturday. If Badie does play against the Bengals, he probably wouldn't see much work on offense with fellow running backs Javonte Williams, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson all healthy.
Badie (back) was a full participant in his return to practice Wednesday. After being designated for return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday and having his 21-day practice window opened, Badie faced no restrictions while taking part in his first on-field work since Week 4. The third-year running back has spent the past two and a half months recuperating from a back injury he suffered in a Sept. 29 win over the Jets, so the Broncos may want him to turn in more than just one week of practice before activating him from IR. Denver signed Blake Watson off their practice squad Wednesday to bolster its depth in the backfield, which lessens the need for the team to rush Badie back from IR in advance of Saturday's game in Cincinnati.
