What happened to Denver Broncos’ Tim Patrick? Know why the wide receiver was carted off the field in training camp

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick, who was recovering from an ACL injury from the previous season, appears to have experienced another setback. According to NFL insider James Palmer, Patrick sustained a non-contact injury during training camp and had to be carted off the field. He was later seen using crutches for his left leg, while the previous ACL injury was in his right leg.

The extent of the new injury remains uncertain, as coach Sean Payton hinted at a possible left chilies injury. Further details about the severity will be revealed after the MRI examination.

Since joining the Denver Broncos in 2018, Patrick has had one major injury, which was the ACL injury that sidelined him for the entire last season. However, apart from that, he has been relatively healthy, and the team, especially quarterback Russell Wilson, hopes to have him available for the upcoming season.

Tim Patrick’s ACL injury

Almost a year ago, on August 2, 2022, Tim Patrick suffered a torn ACL during training camp, causing him to miss the entire 2022 season. The MRI results at that time confirmed the tear in his right knee, while his recent injury occurred in his left leg.

During the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Patrick performed impressively as Denver's No. 3 receiver, with a total of 104 catches, 1,476 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns in 31 games. He is currently in the second season of a three-year, $30 million contract extension he signed late in 2021, yet he hasn't had the opportunity to play under that deal.
