The injury occurred during the 2:15 mark when Badie took a hit to the back from New York linebacker Quincy Williams, resulting in a fumble and a Jets recovery.

Williams’ helmet hit Badie directly in the lower side/back area. Badie was able to walk to the sideline but at some point soon after was laying flat on his back as training staff attended to him. Running back Javonte Williams came over to check on him, but after a time on the ground the medical staff placed Badie on a stretcher and immobilized him.

Then he was loaded on a cart and driven across the field toward the Denver locker room.

The Broncos listed him as questionable to return but midway through the second quarter downgraded him to out.

Badie, a former Missouri standout, was promoted to the 53-man roster on Wednesday after he rushed for 70 yards on nine carries in a 26-7 win over the Buccaneers in Week 3.
