Report: Broncos' Teddy Bridgewater's Leg Injury vs. Chargers Believed to Be Contusion

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is believed to have suffered a lower leg contusion during Sunday's 28-13 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Jeff Legwold.

He will reportedly be further evaluated on Monday.

Bridgewater was injured while being sacked by Chargers safety Derwin James late in the first quarter, resulting in the quarterback undergoing an X-ray.

He was briefly replaced by backup Drew Lock but was able to return after halftime.

"[It] swells up real quick...he had to take some tests to make sure nothing was happening underneath it,'' Broncos coach Vic Fangio said after the game, per Legwold.
