Pat Bryant - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes impact in return to action Bryant caught four of five targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over Carolina.

Impact Bryant was activated from IR on Saturday after recovering from an ankle injury, and he came up big late in Sunday's contest, hauling in a 26-yard TD strike from Bo Nix with less than six minutes left in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the game-winning score. The second-year wideout's clutch play came after Jaylen Waddle (concussion) had left the game, and if a Week 10 bye doesn't give him enough time to recover, Bryant could see an elevated role in Week 11 against the Raiders.

Active for Week 9 Bryant (ankle) is active for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Panthers.

Impact The second-year wideout foreshadowed a return to game action this past week by putting in three full practices, which led to his activation from injured reserve Saturday. Bryant still carried a questionable tag heading into Sunday, but with his availability now confirmed, he should be ready to reprise the No. 3 role he filled behind Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle prior to his Week 4 injury. Bryant saw generally modest volume during his three-plus games to date, posting a 9-133-1 line on 12 targets and adding a 16-yard rush on his one carry.

Activated from IR Bryant (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Bryant was carted off the field due to a sprained right ankle during a Week 4 loss at San Francisco that forced him to injured reserve before Week 5 action. Since the Broncos designated him for return from IR on Wednesday, he logged full practices during the entirety of Week 9 prep, and while he was listed as questionable for Sunday, head coach Sean Payton told Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette on Friday that the second-year pro is in line to play this weekend. Ultimately, Bryant's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

On track to play Sunday Coach Sean Payton said Friday that Bryant (ankle) is in line to play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Though Bryant, who was designated to return from IR on Wednesday, is officially listed as questionable ahead Week 9 action, he practiced fully all week and is thus slated to be activated no later than Saturday, at which point his injury designation could be removed. If he is indeed in uniform this weekend, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim a key role in a Denver WR corps that has thus far been led by Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.

Full practice Wednesday Bryant (ankle) was a full participant at the Broncos' practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official website reports.

Impact Bryant was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, and he was instantly able to give it a full go. With Denver's bye week coming in Week 10, it's unclear if the team will decide to activate the wide receiver before Sunday's matchup with the Panthers or potentially wait to bring him back Nov. 22 against the Raiders. Regardless of whatever decision the team makes, Bryant appears to be fully recovered from the ankle injury that has sidelined him since Week 4.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Opens return window Bryant (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and returned to practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Help is on the way for the Broncos' passing game as Bryant is making progress towards a return. His 21-day practice window is now open, though his status for Week 9 against the Panthers is still undetermined.

NOVEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Officially placed on IR Bryant (ankle) was placed on the Broncos' injured reserve Friday.

Impact Because of his placement on IR due to an ankle injury, Bryant will be required to miss at least the next four games. The earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Panthers, but with the Broncos on bye for Week 10, the second-year wide receiver could be held out until Week 11 against the Raiders in late November. Troy Franklin figures to step into the WR3 role behind Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle for as long as Bryant is sidelined.

Headed for IR The Broncos plan to place Bryant (ankle) on injured reserve, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The official transaction should happen at some point Friday or Saturday. With Bryant ruled out for the next four games, Troy Franklin is the favorite to step in as Denver's No. 3 wide receiver. Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey could also take on roles.

Missing out on another practice Bryant (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Though Bryant looks poised to avoid a stint on injured reserve after an MRI on the right ankle he injured in Sunday's loss to the 49ers ruled out a long-term injury, the second-year wideout still appears likely to miss some time. He's been a spectator for the Broncos' first two practices of Week 5 and will likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers following Friday's session.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Opens Week 5 prep with DNP Bryant (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Bryant sprained his right ankle during the Broncos' Week 4 loss to the 49ers. An MRI did not reveal a high-ankle sprain, which is good news for the second-year wide receiver. Bryant is still expected to miss time, so he can be considered on the doubtful side for Sunday's AFC West showdown against the Chargers. He has a 9-133-1 receiving line (12 targets) through four games, and assuming Bryant is sidelined for Week 5, that workload will be absorbed by Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin.

MRI yields good news The Broncos are confident that Bryant avoided a long-term right ankle injury after an MRI on Monday yielded good news, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The report doesn't offer any specifics regarding what the MRI revealed, but Bryant may have avoided a dreaded high-ankle sprain after exiting Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers. Bryant still appears likely to miss time due to the injury, with Adam Schefter of ESPN relaying Monday that the second-year wideout is expected to be sidelined for "a few weeks." Assuming Bryant is out for at least this Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Broncos would have more reps available for Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin behind starting receivers Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.

Set to miss time with ankle sprain Bryant is expected to miss "a few weeks" after spraining his right ankle in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Bryant finished with three receptions for 47 yards on three targets before he checked out of the game after he appeared to injure the ankle when he was tackled at the end of his final catch of the day with just under three minutes left in the third quarter. The second-year wideout's expected absence should open up more playing time for Marvin Mims and/or Troy Franklin as the Broncos' No. 3 receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.

Still Perfect: 3 Takeaways As 49ers Grind Out Victory Over Broncos To Remain Undefeated

Officially questionable to return Bryant (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Impact Bryant was injured at the tail end of a catch in the second half and had to be carted to the locker room. That he's being considered questionable to return may suggest it's not a serious injury for Bryant. Prior to leaving, he caught all three of his targets for 47 yards. Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin are next in line for snaps behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.

Carted off Sunday Bryant (leg) was carted off the field in the third quarter of Sunday's contest against the 49ers, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Bryant suffered a right leg injury after a catch and run of 30 yards with 2:47 left in the third quarter. The wide receiver's day is almost certainly done, and it's possible that he will be forced to miss action moving forward. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future, and in the meantime, Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton will continue to operate as the top two wideouts for Denver.
