It was a scary scene late in the fourth quarter during the Week 16 game between the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars.

With under one minute left to play, wide receiver Pat Bryant took a huge hit from a Jaguars defender and stayed down on the field after the play.

After several minutes, Bryant was loaded onto a stretcher and was carted off the field, leaving the entire football world extremely concerned.

It was reported after the game by The Athletic's James Palmer that Bryant was immediately taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

"Broncos WR Pat Bryant was loaded directly into an ambulance and left the stadium," Palmer reported.

Pat Bryant injury update

When asked about Bryant's status after the game, Broncos head coach Sean Payton revealed that Bryant "had movement" and said it was "encouraging" to see that, according to 9News' Mike Klis.

That's certainly great news after what was a terrifying situation at first. Bryant having movement in his extremities is the best news possible right now.

Hopefully we get more good news soon, but for now it looks like Bryant is going to be OK.
