Pat Bryant - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Gains 31 yards in return Bryant (concussion) had four receptions on five targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Chargers.

Impact Bryant returned from a one-game absence due to a concussion suffered in Week 16 to lead the Broncos in targets and receptions in the regular-season finale. The third-round rookie made the most of limited opportunities in a game where QB Bo Nix threw for just 141 yards. Bryant's first regular season as a pro yielded a 35-409-1 receiving line primarily as a backup in 16 appearances. WR Courtland Sutton will operate as Denver's No. 1 receiving option when the team begins its playoff run in the divisional round, with Bryant serving as one of several young options behind the veteran on the depth chart.

Injury Report: TE Nate Adkins and WR Pat Bryant not assigned game statuses, expected to be available for Week 18 game vs. Chargers Defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers (hip) remained limited in practice and is questionable for Week 18.

Cleared to play Week 18 Bryant (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact The lack of an injury designation indicates that an independent neurologist has cleared Bryant from the league's concussion protocol. The rookie third-rounder will be available for Sunday's regular-season finale as the Broncos look to lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the postseason. Bryant has logged six targets or more in three of his last four games, accumulating 17 catches (on 25 targets) for 198 yards over that span.

Logs full practice Thursday Bryant (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Bryant entered the league's concussion protocol after taking a huge hit during the fourth quarter of the Broncos' Week 16 loss to the Jaguars, which resulted in him being carted off the field and taken to a local hospital. He did not play against the Chiefs on Christmas Day, but his ability to practice in full indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. The last step Bryant needs to take in order to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers is to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist.

Returns to limited practice Bryant (concussion) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Bryant didn't practice ahead of the Broncos' Dec. 25 win over the Chiefs, so the wideout's limited participation Wednesday is a step in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Bryant now has two more chances to upgrade to full participation before Denver's Week 18 injury designations are posted Friday. In his absence versus Kansas City, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey worked behind top WR Courtland Sutton, who led the team with 10 targets in Week 17.

Won't play Christmas Day Bryant (concussion) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Bryant was not cleared to practice while in the league's concussion protocol and will miss his second game of the season Thursday. His absence means Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey will step into larger roles in the Broncos' offense behind the Broncos' top-two wideouts in Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Bryant's next chance to play is Week 18 against the Chargers.

Misses walk-through practice Bryant (concussion) didn't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Bryant sustained a concussion after he took a big hit in the closing minute of Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars, resulting in him being admitted to a local hospital following the game. The wideout has since been discharged after clearing all subsequent diagnostic testing, but he appears to be facing long odds to clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of Thursday's game against the Chiefs. If Bryant isn't available for the Christmas Day contest, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey would likely share the No. 3 receiver role.

Released from hospital Bryant has been released from the local hospital where he was evaluated for a concussion Sunday, after all other tests came back negative, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bryant was carted off the field during during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Jaguars and had to be evaluated at a hospital, and he's avoided being diagnosed with any neurological injuries other than a concussion. The rookie third-round pick's placement in the five-step concussion protocol makes him a seemingly unlikely candidate to be available Thursday against the Chiefs, after which point the Broncos will close out the regular season in Week 18 at home against the Chargers.

Full participant in practice Bryant (hamstring) was a Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Bryant appears back to full health after having missed Week 15 due to a hamstring issue. Barring any setbacks, the rookie wideout can be considered fully on track for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. He'll contribute as one of Denver's starting receivers in three-wide sets, alongside Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin, with Marvin Mims in the No. 4 role.

Returns to practice Bryant (hamstring) is participating in Wednesday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bryant's hamstring injury prevented him from practicing in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Denver's win over Green Bay in Week 15, so for him to handle at least limited reps Wednesday represents a step in the right direction. After a quiet start to the year, the rookie third-rounder has averaged just over 40 receiving yards per game across his last six appearances.
