Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie, a former Missouri Tiger, exited a game against the New York Jets by trainers on a stretcher after suffering a back injury.

Badie caught a pass out of the backfield late in the first quarter before being knocked by a Jets linebacker, forcing the ball loose and bringing Badie to the ground. The play happened with two minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Badie returned to the sideline, however, between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second, he was laying on his back to receive medical attention from trainers. A stretcher was brought out for Badie, who was then carted into the locker room.

The Broncos later announced that Badie would be questionable to return to the game with a back injury.

Prior to the game against the Jets, Badie had 10 carries on the season for 86 yards. His fumbled reception was his third touch of the day against New York.

Badie was selected the Baltimore Ravens in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft after rushing for 2,740 yards in his four-year career with Missouri. He was named to the All-SEC First Team during his senior season of 2021, where he rushed for 1,604 yards and 14 touchdowns.

UPDATE 10:24 a.m. CDT, Sept. 30: NFL insider Ian Rapoport shared a positive update on Badie.

Brandon Krisztal, who covers the Denver Broncos for KOA Colorado, shared that Badie flew back to Denver Sunday night with a member of the Denver medical staff.

#Broncos promising young RB Tyler Badie, who left yesterday’s game on a backboard, has full movement of his arms and legs and is back in Denver with the team, sources say. Very positive.

He did suffer a back injury that may land him on IR, but there is a chance he can be back. pic.twitter.com/35vb1YWHLe

Broncos RB Tyler Badie flew home on the same commercial flight I happened to be on, accompanied by a member of the Broncos medical staff.
Obviously a good sign, that after he was examined at a NY area hospital, he was able to fly home just behind his team.#BroncosCountry
