According to sources, Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick will miss the rest of the season with a tornACL.
After catching a pass in front of Essang Bassey, Patrick's leg buckled as he ran up the field, and he grabbed his knee as he fell. Patrick was surrounded by his teammates as he was examined by the team's trainers.
Patrick, who led the team in touchdown catches last season, was helped onto a cart and taken to the locker room.
The full extent of the injury was revealed before test results were announced. This is the worst part of the game.
"Tim's a guy that's well respected across this team, across this league, and that's why he's a guy that's well respected across this team, across this league, and that's why he's a guy that's well respected across
Patrick was helped from the field. It was a testament to Patrick's standing among his teammates that it was the longest practice I've seen, according to safety Kareem Jackson.
Patrick was third on the team in catches with 53 and fifth in touchdown catches with five. He rose from being signed off waivers by the Broncos to a special teams stalwart in his first season with the team, to a key receiver in the offense.
He signed a three year deal.
He said after practice that it hurts. The preparation of a guy who works his butt off all the time is unparalleled. As we wait, we are praying for the best.
For the third year in a row, the Broncos will lose a top receiver to injury. In the second week of the 2020 season, and in the third week of the last season, there were injuries.
After Patrick was injured, some rookies got some extra work.
Damarea Crockett, a running back, suffered a tornACL during practice. After playing in 12 games last season, Crockett was working as the fourth back in camp.
