Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie suffered a scary back injury against the New York Jets on Sunday and was carted to the locker room.
The running back’s mother, Tanjala T. Gipson, posted a message on her Twitter/X page on Sunday night after the game.
“This photo was taken just before today’s game,” Gipson wrote on her social media page. “God was good then, and God is good now. We may not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future. Thank you so very much for your prayers for our son Tyler Badie.”
The accompanying photo showed a t-shirt with a Bible verse that reads, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Badie had movement in all of his extremities after the game and reports have indicated that the running back is expected to be okay.
Badie flew back to Denver on Sunday night.
Broncos RB Tyler Badie flew home on the same commercial flight I happened to be on, accompanied by a member of the Broncos medical staff.
Obviously a good sign, that after he was examined at a NY area hospital, he was able to fly home just behind his team.#BroncosCountry— Brandon Krisztal (@BKDenverSports) September 30, 2024
Badie, 24, was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster last week following his 70-yard performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has rushed for 86 yards through three games this season.
