The Broncos placed Badie (back) on injured reserve Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Badie was a candidate to go on injured reserve after the 24-year-old running back was carted off the field during the Broncos' Week 4 win over the Jets. Badie will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 9 against the Ravens on Nov. 3 the earliest he can return.
Badie (back) won't play Sunday against the Raiders, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Badie's absence isn't surprising considering coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that an IR stint could be on the table for the running back. Badie hasn't practiced since hurting his back in the first half of Denver's Week 4 win over the Jets. His next chance to suit up will be Week 6 against the Chargers.
Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Badie (back) is "possibly" a candidate for injured reserve, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Badie, who suffered a back injury and was carted off the field in this past Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets, was the only Broncos player who didn't practice Wednesday. Considering that he may land on IR, Badie looks to be trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Raiders, at the very least. If Badie is out Week 5, Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin would likely pick up most of the snaps out of the Denver backfield.
Badie (back) has full movement of his arms and legs and is back at team facilities after leaving Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets on a stretcher, but he may be placed on IR, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Badie suffered a back injury Sunday during a tackle by Quincy Williams, which forced a fumble. The running back was able to join his teammates on the sideline, but Badie then had to be taken off the field on a stretcher. The Broncos haven't offered a timeline for his recovery, but if Badie ends up being placed on IR he'll be required to miss at least four games.
Badie (back) left Sunday's 10-9 win over the Jets on a stretcher but is doing okay, Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports reports. Badie was injured on a big hit by Jets linebacker Quincy Williams, which also dislodged the ball for a fumble. The running back stayed with his teammates on the sideline for a while but eventually needed a stretcher to get off the field. Subsequent test results on his back have been encouraging, but it's too early to determine a return timeline for Badie.
Badie exited Sunday's game against the Jets with a back injury, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette Prior to being forced out of the contest, Badie logged one carry for zero yards and caught two passes for minus-4 yards. In his absence, Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin are available to handle Denver's RB duties.
Badie signed to Denver's 53-man roster from the practice squad Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports. Badie earned a permanent spot on the roster with an excellent performance in the 26-7 Week 3 win over the Buccaneers, rushing nine times for 70 yards. That outing coupled with 16 rushing yards in Week 2 were enough to make Badie the team's leading rusher among running backs this season. He'll likely continue to work in a platoon with Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin in Week 4 against the Jets, and likely beyond.
Badie reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Badie had his first touch of Week 3 in the second quarter and another in the third, but he dominated Denver's backfield in the fourth, earning all seven carries among the team's running backs. Overall, he notched nine rushes for 70 yards, which was fueled by a game-high 43-yard run. Having said that, he (13 of 68 offensive plays) was behind Javonte Williams (35) and Jaleel McLaughlin (18) in terms of playing time, so it's difficult to know if Badie has staked a claim to a decent share of the Broncos' RB reps moving forward.
Badie rushed nine times for 70 yards in the Broncos' 26-7 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Badie saw plenty of action in the second half, and he easily outpaced Javonte Williams with the help of a game-long 43-yard run. The 2022 sixth-round pick had come into the game with just two touches on the season, but his performance Sunday coupled with Williams' considerable inefficiency over the first three weeks of the season could begin to result in more playing time for Badie going into a Week 4 road battle against the Jets.
