Impact Bryant was injured in Denver's season-ending loss to the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. The 2025 third-round pick had 31 catches for 378 yards and one TD on 49 targets in 15 games during his rookie regular season. Bryant has regained health but will need to impress the coaching staff throughout training camp and the preseason to earn a prominent role in a deep wide receiver room that Denver bolstered by trading for Jaylen Waddle in the offseason while retaining Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin (hamstring), Marvin Mims and Bryant.

Impact Despite a slow start to his first season, Bryant became a more important part of the Broncos' aerial attack as the season progressed. The rookie wideout worked his way up the depth chart to operate as Denver's No. 3 receiver, averaging six targets per game across his final four regular-season contests. Bryant suffered a hamstring injury in the second quarter of the AFC Championship Game loss to the Patriots, ultimately ruling him out for the second half of the game. Assuming the 23-year-old is back to full strength before next season, he should play a significant role as a pass catcher in head coach Sean Payton's offensive plans alongside fellow receivers Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Bryant's continued development and the overall improvement of Denver's offense should allow the Illinois product to take a major step forward in 2026.

Not returning Sunday Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bryant was initially deemed questionable to return to the game after suffering a hamstring injury during the second quarter, but the Broncos will end up holding him out for the remainder of the contest. The rookie wideout rushed once for one yard and hauled in his lone target for a two-yard gain prior to departing.

Iffy to return Sunday Bryant is questionable to return to Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots due to a hamstring injury, Luca Evans of The Denver Post reports.

Impact After exiting last week's divisional-round win over the Bills when he sustained his second concussion in less than a month, Bryant cleared the five-step protocol in advance of Sunday's contest but is now tending to a new health concern. Before exiting in the second quarter, Bryant recorded one catch for two yards and rushed once for one yard. The Broncos should have an update on Bryant's status for the remainder of the game following halftime.

Cleared for Sunday's game Bryant (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Impact Bryant, who sustained a concussion in this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Bills, logged a limited practice Wednesday, but following full sessions Thursday and Friday, he's been cleared to face New England. Meanwhile, fellow WR Troy Franklin (hamstring) has been deemed questionable after three straight limited practices, and if Franklin is limited or out Sunday, Bryant and Marvin Mims would stand to pick up added snaps alongside Courtland Sutton.

Impact Bryant left this past Saturday's divisional-round win versus the Bills after he was diagnosed with a concussion, but he's clearly made progress through the protocol for head injuries to be able to handle some on-field work. Even if he progresses to a full session by Friday, he may head into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots. Ultimately, Bryant will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play in that contest.

Possible concussion Bryant is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Bryant was busy on the Broncos' opening drive with three catches (on as many targets) for 32 yards. However, he was shaken up on his third reception, and he has gone to the locker room to undergo further tests. Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey should see more snaps on offense for as long as Bryant is out of the game.

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.
