The mother of Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie broke her silence after her son collapsed on the sideline during his game against the New York Jets on Sunday.
Tanjala T. Gipson, M.D., posted a picture on X on Sunday showing a T-shirt supporting the running back with a Bible verse from Jeremiah 29:11. The verse read, “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

“This photo was taken just before today’s game,” Gipson wrote on X. “God was good then, and God is good now. We may not know what the future holds, but we know Who holds the future. Thank you so very much for your prayers for our son Tyler Badie.”
