His neck brace sitting next to his locker earlier today, Broncos cornerback De’Vante Bausby recounted his injury during Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
In the first half, Bausby was getting ready to make a tackle when inside linebacker Alexander Johnson collided with him, jamming his neck. Bausby immediately fell backward and was motionless while being placed on a back-board and then carted to an ambulance.
Bausby said he was a “little bit” scared as he was being attended to on the field.
“They said I was paralyzed for the first 30 minutes,” he said in the Broncos’ locker room Tuesday.
