Broncos make decision on WR Pat Bryant ahead of Panthers game
Pat Bryant is back!
The Denver Broncos have reinstated wide receiver Pat Bryant from injured reserve ahead of their upcoming game against the Panthers. The team made room for Bryant by placing defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike on short-term injured reserve. Standing at 6-2 and 204 pounds, Bryant now holds the No. 3 receiver spot behind Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton.
He joins Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims in the rotation, having spent the past four games on injured reserve. Drafted in the third round by the Broncos in the previous year out of Illinois, Bryant played 15 games last season, amassing 31 receptions for 378 yards and a touchdown as a rookie. This season, he has recorded nine catches for 133 yards and a score in four games prior to his injury.
NFL teams are permitted to list up to four players to return from injured reserve each season, and Bryant is the fourth Denver player designated to return this fall, joining Frank Crum (leg), Caleb Lohner (foot) and Jonah Coleman (running back), who returned in Week 7. Crum and Lohner have yet to return to practice.
