ESPN is reporting today that former Gator and current Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow played hurt in Denver’s playoff loss to the New England Patriots.

ESPN said Tebow got hurt on a tackle in the third quarter and apparently played the game with chest, rib and lung injuries. However, no surgery will be required to fix any of the problems and Tebow will rehab to get himself back and healthy.

Tebow did not talk with reporters on Sunday during a one hour media window afforded reporters to talk with Denver players and coaches in an end of the season review.
