Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been released from the hospital after sustaining a head injury on Sunday, the team announced.
In a 15-10 loss to the Bengals on Sunday, Bridgewater fell head-first into the turf after leaping for a first down midway through the third quarter. The former Louisville star was then carted off the field on a stretcher and was taken by an ambulance to the hospital, where he stayed overnight as a precaution.
The Broncos also announced that Bridgewater will enter into the NFL's concussion protocol, but did not mention a timetable for his return.
