Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle left Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers to the locker room after taking a hit to the head on a pass play.
Waddle took the contact in the first quarter while trying to catch a pass over the middle from Bo Nix in between two defenders. Safety Zakee Wheatley hit Waddle’s facemask with the crown of the helmet as Waddle leapt for the ball.
Waddle entered the sideline medical tent after the head and was evaluated on the field for a concussion. He then jogged to the Broncos locker room.

Broncos cornerback Riley Moss was also evaluated for a concussion after a hit to the head in the second quarter while making a tackle.
It wasn’t immediately clear if either would be ruled out for the game.
