The linebacker came off the gridiron and then was examined by team medical staff. He left the field wearing a brace at SoFi Stadium shortly afterwards on a cart and was ruled out of the game.

Coming into Sunday's game Bonitto led Denver's defense with seven sacks. Against L.A. he had two tackles, including a shared sack, before going down with the injury.
