Sean Payton: Reverse that led to Jaylen Waddle injury was an "awful" play call

Following a 30-16 victory, Denver head coach Sean Payton admitted regret regarding a fourth-quarter reverse play that resulted in a chest injury for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Quarterback Bo Nix initiated the failed pitch in the backfield, forcing Waddle to dive on the loose ball to prevent a turnover.

Waddle was forced to exit the contest and did not return to the field. Payton offered no specific medical update on the receiver following the game, leaving his status uncertain as the team prepares to face the Chiefs in Week 8.
