Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle (Chest) Exits vs. Cardinals
Payton said the reverse was a bad call after the Broncos lost 11 yards and Waddle left with a chest injury.
- Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle suffered a chest injury during Sunday's 30-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, with head coach Sean Payton taking responsibility for the play call that caused the injury.
- Waddle was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday with a chest issue before being cleared Friday; the injury occurred on a reverse play with under five minutes remaining when he fumbled the handoff from quarterback Bo Nix.
- Before exiting, Waddle recorded four catches for 48 yards; he dove to recover the ball after the botched exchange, appearing to grab his chest and shoulder before leaving for the locker room.
- Payton apologized for the "dumb" and "awful" call, comparing it to a similar 2008 reverse he ran while coaching the New Orleans Saints, and questioned why reporters hadn't asked about the decision.
- Waddle may face a stint on the injured list following the hit from Arizona edge rusher Josh Sweat; acquired from Miami, he has 26 receptions for 276 yards through seven games this season.
