Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles left Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of a 26-20 loss.
After the game, Broncos coach Sean Payton indicated that he believed Bolles bruised his ankle and would be “fine.” During his conference call with reporters on Monday, Payton was asked for an update on the lineman.
“How about this being the first Monday morning presser where we’ll discuss an injury, but then we’re never going to discuss it again?” Payton said. “All the X-Rays were negative. Good news there. MRIs were negative. Obviously, there’s a contusion. That’s what I know, and that’s a positive.”
The “contusion” is the “bruise” that Payton referenced on Sunday night. It remains to be seen if that will cause Bolles to miss any time. Matt Peart filled in for Bolles against the Seahawks.
The Broncos will return to practice on Wednesday and an injury report will follow, so we’ll find out more about Bolles’ status mid-week.
