Sources: Broncos' Pat Bryant out of hospital, has concussion - ESPN

DENVER — Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant was discharged from an area hospital Sunday night after being diagnosed with a concussion, but cleared of other major injuries, following a big hit in the final minute of the team's 34-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources told ESPN.

Tests for a potential neck injury came back negative, sources said.

Bryant was hurt with 41 seconds remaining in Sunday's game. Quarterback Bo Nix rolled right to escape pressure and threw an 11-yard completion to the rookie. But as Bryant caught the ball with his momentum headed toward the sideline, Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown, whose momentum was headed back into the field of play, hit the receiver.

Bryant stayed on the field after the collision and was immobilized on a backboard by the Broncos' medical staff. He was taken from the field on a cart and then went by ambulance to the hospital.

Speaking after the game, Denver coach Sean Payton said Bryant had movement in his extremities.

Brown was not penalized on the play, with referee Shawn Hochuli saying the contact was not to «the head and neck area» of Bryant.

«You never want to see somebody in that situation, and I feel responsible because I threw it,'' Nix said. „You can say it's part of the game, but you just never want to see it. [I] really pray he's OK and he can be back out there as soon as he can.… That was a tough situation.''

Sources told ESPN that a member of Bryant's family also was taken to the hospital by ambulance after a medical issue in a stadium elevator after Sunday's game.

Bryant, a third-round pick in April's NFL draft, had five receptions for 42 yards before exiting. On the season, he has 27 receptions for 347 yards and a touchdown.
