Ultimately, KOA Colorado reporter Brandon Krisztal shared a final update about Badie on Sunday evening. Krisztal reported that Badie flew home with a member of the Broncos medical staff. The reporter called the sighting of the 24-year-old a “good sign.”
“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…” he wrote.

Subsequently, footage surfaced of Hamlin lying on the field.
