ESPN's lead NFL insider, Adam Schefter, reported the injury and predicted that Bryant would be sidelined for \"a few weeks\". Bryant was taken off the field on a cart after the incident, which appeared severe on replay. However, it was later confirmed that neither Bryant nor cornerback Pat Surtain II suffered season-ending injuries, with Bryant's injury being ruled as a sprained ankle. The news was a positive outcome, as it was initially feared that Bryant's season was over. The Broncos' schedule includes games against the Los Angeles Chargers and the reigning Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks, with Bryant likely to miss both. The team will now need to rely on players like Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims, and Lil'Jordan Humphrey to step up while Bryant is out. The severity of cornerback Pat Surtain II's ankle injury and cornerback Riley Moss's rib injury remains to be determined, but it is hoped that both players will be able to return soon.",
