The Broncos placed Badie (back) on injured reserve Saturday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Badie was a candidate to go on injured reserve after the 24-year-old running back was carted off the field during the Broncos' Week 4 win over the Jets. Badie will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 9 against the Ravens on Nov. 3 the earliest he can return.
