Broncos running back Tyler Badie did not practice Wednesday as expected.
Coach Sean Payton said Badie is “doing better” but still being evaluated and “possibly” a candidate for injured reserve.
Badie injured his back in Sunday’s win over the Jets. He was taken off the field on a cart while strapped to a backboard, and after being evaluated at a local hospital, Badie flew home on a commercial flight.
The Broncos signed veteran running back Salvon Ahmed to the practice squad Wednesday, a sign that Badie will miss some time. The question is: How much?
Badie would miss a minimum of four games on injured reserve.
The Broncos had two other players on the practice report Wednesday, with safety JL Skinner (ankle) limited and wide receiver Josh Reynolds (knee) a full participant.
