Tim Patrick hasn’t played in a meaningful recreation in over two years.
The Denver Broncos are giving the broad receiver one more shot at a return to the field, agreeing to a new one-year contract on Friday.
The Broncos have already stated goodbye to nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson, meaning that he and Patrick in no way acquired a risk to shape an on-field connection during Wilson’s two seasons with the team.
It’s also lately been suggested that Denver should be reducing ties with its pinnacle two wideouts from the ultimate two seasons — Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy.
Patrick used to be one of the Broncos’ pinnacle pass-catchers for the duration of the 2020 and 2021 seasons. He led the team in receiving touchdowns (six) and completed 2d in receiving yards (742) in 2020 earlier than pacing Denver in touchdowns (five) and ranking 2nd in receiving yards (734) once more in 2021.
The 30-year-old Patrick suffered a torn ACL in early August 2022 though, which brought on him to leave out the whole season. He then went down with a torn Achilles remaining August.
Nobody knows who will be beneath middle in the Mile High City this fall, but it looks like Patrick will be among the returning faces to the extensive receiver room.
