Broncos running back Tyler Badie ruled out for Thursday Night Football with thumb injury

The Denver Broncos' offense continued its strong start against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football, extending their lead to 14-3 before halftime. However, the team suffered a setback when third-string running back Tyler Badie exited the game with a thumb injury sustained during a fourth-down conversion on Denver’s first scoring drive.

The injury rules Badie out for the remainder of the contest, leaving the Broncos to rely on J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, who each contributed a touchdown in the first half.

With Badie sidelined, the Broncos’ backfield depth is tested as they prepare for next week’s matchup at Arizona, where Jonah Coleman could return from injured reserve.
