SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah Utes and current Denver Broncos offensive lineman Garett Bolles suffered an injury and was carted off the field during Thursday Night Football.
Bolles and the Broncos hosted the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, October 8.
During the fourth quarter, Bolles suffered an injury and was carted off the field. At the time of his injury, Denver owned a 9-6 lead. The game went into overtime after the Colts made a field goal later in the quarter.
”Just saw #broncos LT Garett Bolles go straight to the x-ray room on the cart. A medical staff member was holding his ankle as the cart went by. Bolles was very emotional. Put no weight on it,” NFL Network’s James Palmer tweeted.
