Broncos' Pat Bryant Carted Off Field After Scary Hit in Loss to Jaguars
On December 21, 2025, during Week 16 of the NFL season, the Denver Broncos faced the Jacksonville Jaguars at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. In a hard collision, Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant was carted off the field on a backboard after a hit from Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown while attempting a late catch.
Bryant was attended to by trainers on the field amid concern from the stadium crowd and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Coach Sean Payton later confirmed Bryant had movement in his extremities, describing that as an encouraging sign.
The Jaguars won the game 34-20, improving their record to 11-4 and extending their winning streak to six games. The Broncos fell to 12-3 but maintained the best AFC record to date, with the New England Patriots having the potential to reach 12 wins later this week if they beat the Baltimore Ravens.
Pat Bryant finished the game with five receptions for 42 yards, bringing his season totals to 27 receptions, 347 yards, and one touchdown.
