This is the horrifying moment Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie collapsed on the sideline after hitting his head on the turf at MetLife Stadium.
Slow-motion replays showed Badie landing awkwardly on his head and neck during a Broncos play against the Jets, before he managed to return to the sideline.
A few seconds later, he collapsed to the ground while standing among his teammates, and medics rushed to his aid.
Shortly after, as the second quarter of the game began, Badie was placed in a neck brace and taken on a stretcher to the locker room for further evaluation.
He was then quickly ruled out for the remainder of the match, but the full extent of his injuries is currently unclear.

The injury occurred after Quincy Williams tackled Badie, forcing a fumble.
The incident occurred on a tackle by Jets linebacker Quincy Williams, who tackled Badie while attempting to catch the ball, resulting in a fumble and a Jets recovery.
Badie was then unable to break his fall in the pouring rain, and his face mask can be seen crashing onto the MetLife grass.
The stadium’s giant screens showed Badie being carried off on a stretcher shortly after, and he appeared to be conscious and speaking to doctors.
Badie was selected in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft after starring at Missouri, and was promoted to the active roster on Wednesday after impressing with nine carries for 70 yards in the win over the Bucs in Week 3.
