Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was released from a local hospital Monday morning, the team announced around 9:30 a.m. and is “doing well.”
The Broncos added that Bridgewater is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. He was injured while scrambling for a first down during the third quarter of Sunday’s 15-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Bridgewater was motionless on the turf after the side of his head hit the ground upon being hit. He was placed on a back-board and transported to the hospital, where he was held overnight for observation.
This is the second time Bridgewater has been in the league’s concussion protocol this year; he was injured in the Week 4 loss to Baltimore, but returned to play seven days later at Pittsburgh.
