Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle slowly left the field and went into the team's blue medical tent after a botched end-around run in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
After Waddle bubbled and fell on a toss from quarterback Bo Nix for a 12-yard loss, the receiver stayed down on the field and was tended to by the team's medical staff. He eventually was able to walk off the field and seemed to be favoring his left shoulder/chest area. Waddle was limited with a chest injury at two practices last week.
Susie Wargin reported that Waddle is questionable to return to the game with a chest injury.
Before leaving the game, Waddle totaled four catches for 48 yards on seven targets. After being evaluated in the medical
tent, Waddle walked into the locker room with staff members.

Elsewhere on the injury front, Broncos defensive lineman Malcolm Roach was evaluated for a possible concussion in the fourth quarter. Roach was cleared to return to the game.
Later in the fourth, defensive lineman Zach Allen went down favoring his right hamstring. Allen was eventually able to walk off the field and went into the team's blue medical tent.
