Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle, CB Riley Moss Ruled Out Against Panthers with Concussions
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and cornerback Riley Moss were ruled out for the remainder of the game against the Carolina Panthers after suffering concussions in the first half.
Waddle sustained his injury while attempting a reception after a hit from rookie safety Zakee Wheatley, while Moss received a blow to the head and neck during a second-quarter tackle on Panthers running back Trevor Etienne.
Before exiting, Waddle recorded one catch for 22 yards, helping the Broncos establish an early 10-0 lead; the team will finish the contest with four healthy wide receivers available.
Pat Bryant is expected to see the largest snap increase following Waddle's departure, while second-year player Jahdae Barron replaced Moss in the secondary.
Players must clear the NFL's multi-phase concussion protocol before returning to action. NBC Sports and CBS Sports report the median recovery for NFL players is about nine days.
