The Denver Broncos will be facing the Los Angeles Chargers for their Week 5 matchup on Sunday night. The Broncos are entering this game with the goal of bouncing back. This is because Denver lost their most recent game against the San Francisco 49ers by a 24-14 final score.
Now, as the Broncos get ready for their matchup against the Chargers, an unfortunate update has been provided on injured wide receiver Pat Bryant. According to ESPN's Ian Rapoport, the Broncos are placing Bryant on injured reserve due to his ankle injury. With this, the 23-year-old wide receiver will officially miss Denver's next four games and will not be able to return until at least the team's Nov. 8 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
This is undoubtedly tough news for the Broncos, as Bryant is a solid part of their offense. Now, the Broncos will be forced to adjust without having Bryant available for at least the next four weeks. Bryant is currently in his second season with the Broncos.
In four games so far this season with Denver, he has recorded one touchdown, nine receptions, and 133 receiving yards. This is after the 2025 third-round pick posted one touchdown, 31 receptions, and 378 receiving yards in 15 games for the Broncos as a rookie last season.
