Pat Bryant Avoids IR Despite Suffering Ankle Injury in Week 4

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury suffered in Week 4 against the 49ers. Head coach Sean Payton indicated that Bryant will not be placed on injured reserve, suggesting he could return within the next few games. While fantasy players should not count on him playing in Week 5 against the Chargers, his avoided IR stint points toward a potential return in a few weeks as the team relies on depth.
