Denver Broncos running back De’Angelo Henderson should not miss any on-field action, suffering only minor injuries after being struck by a vehicle evading police in Parker on Saturday.
The second-year pro posted a picture of his flipped Jeep to his Instagram profile on Monday, saying he’d suffered only a “few scrapes and bruises” after his vehicle was t-boned, went airborne, flipped, and rolled.
“With OTAs a week a way (sic) and a season that I’m competing for a significant roll (sic), the most traumatic event I’ve probably ever had to deal with occurs,” Henderson said in the post.
Henderson was taken to an area hospital “as a precaution” and was at the team’s Dove Valley facility “preparing to participate in OTAs next week,” Broncos spokesperson Patrick Smyth said via Twitter.
In his post to Instagram, Henderson thanked the doctors who worked on him, along with emergency responders from the Parker Police Department and South Metro Fire Rescue. He also issues thoughts and prayers for the “other victims” of the incident.
Authorities had been in pursuit of a suspect of an alleged vehicle theft when the three-car collision occurred, Parker Police spokesperson Josh Hans said Monday afternoon.
