Pat Bryant

Hamstring injury Broncos WR Troy Franklin is inactive because of his hamstring injury for today's AFC Championship Game. (Tom Pelissero on X) FF Today's Take: Not only will the Broncos be down their starting QB, but Franklin will miss the AFC Championship game with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice all week. Franklin's absence should mean more targets for Pat Bryant and perhaps Marvin Mims as well.

A hamstring injury suffered in the first quarter forced Bryant to the sidelines in Sunday's game. He was unable to return to the field and now sees a promising rookie season come to an end. The 2025 third-rounder ended this season ranked third among Broncos receivers in routes run (309), and finished the year with a 31-378-1 line on 47 targets. Bryant came on strong later in the season, with 31 of his targets coming in his last five regular season games. Bryant will compete with Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims for snaps next season, but could have the inside edge to the team's WR2 spot with a strong offseason.

Bryant (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
